how can i get an image on my weapon that i have made in maya, ive got the following material attributes: surface shader and lambert and ive named the image the same name as the material and whatever else has to be the same name, i tried looking at another weapon model from blops to get an idea but it didnt help, does anyone have an idea of what i have to do? thanks in advanced

Materials in Asset Manager represent your phong/lambert shaders in Maya. Nothing you do in Maya will transfer in-game except the shader-to-mesh assignments. Lighting, reflections, etc are all discarded. You have to set up your materials in Asset Manager.

ok thats all good then but when i am trying to export the model i get this error

 

would you happen to know what that means i have to do/havent done?
thanks

It means one of your surfaces has no material assigned to it. To find it, have a look around your model and watch for anything colored solid green. Solid green = no material on the surface. Of course, you have to have materials enabled in your viewpanel (the 6 key on your keyboard, I believe)

thanks i had missed one of the surfaces
