Import problems

Hi all, im trying to import a model, However im told that there are missing map file's, I've tryed editing the resorces in the path editor, striping the files names and then re-assigning, but to no end! i've tryed assigning the paths to the folder, both without success in the when im told that there are missins map file's when i try to render!, I get the model up ok.........I've searched Tutorials but they only give answers that i already have tryed!

Its like some textures choose to show up, some dont!

Any ideas?

Its like some textures decided to show some dont, One can assume otherwise that the textures may not be applied?, however i have tested this with a number of models and its the same on many that i've imported...

what is a format and soft used ?

 

The format is 3ds and my software is 3ds Max

 

ok , for view if your model have a texture on it, press M for open the textures window. and choose the pipette and clic on your model. You can verify the name of the texture, and the orginal adress normaly.

sorry for my english hehe i'm french
