I need your help with trying to put texture on FF: Dissdia 012 models

[coldtoaster]

Hello, Valve released their Dota 2 Workshop tools Alpha so now people can officially make custom maps (Warlocks, tower defence, campaigns etc). I'm trying to make a custom map with FF characters. When i import smd into Blender, it looks normal. The problem is applying the textures. I would use the uv map tool, and try to add the image texture but it turns out all distorted, and i can't seem to grasp on how to add multiple texture images to 1 model.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like that. So when i go in edit mode, and apply the textures this is what i get. The parts seem to attach to their respective places, but areas that are not covered, will be covered with whats there. The two other image texture files are below.

I literally started Blender and modeling yesterday and i can't do shet. Some other people i found, seem to have used 3ds Max to create new materials, diffuse material. Or others just used Maya. sigh

Assigning multiple materials in Blender is easy, take a look at this:

You should have at least 2 materials, one for the body of the character, and another for the sword. Once you have the materials ready, re-name them according to the name of the textures.

Example: The texture of the character is called "diss_00" then this should be the name of your material in Blender. The material for the sword should be "diss_01".

Thanks for the reply. I actually successfully? applied the textures a few hours ago, through a different method. A guy on another forum said that smds usually get exported as one mesh, and recommended me to export an obj (this split the main mesh as 4 parts, still not sure what the 4th part was) into blender and do a bone weight copy. I imported the obj and the smd. Did a bone weight transfer of the 4 obj meshes to the main mesh. Then made two image materials.

So...
1. am i good to go, doing the pose mode and doing animations now?
2. What am i supposed to do with the rda file. The rda file has the animations no? Can i open it in blender or something and use those existing animations and compute it into a qc file?
3. How to get rid of those grey bold edges on the sword? Or is this just a visual thing?
