[3ds Max] Can I use Tex Materials in Edit UVW?

I can create .tex materials and display them in 3ds Max without any problems. But when it comes to working in the Edit UVWs window I can’t seem to find anyway to load the tex material.

When I select ‘Pick Texture’ the tex material isn’t available in Scene Materials.

Is there anyway to use tex materials in Edit UVW? Or must I use a standard material (the original .tga?) and then apply the tex material to my model again when I’ve finished editing the UVWs?

Thanks for any advice.

in Edit UVW, I usually use the original .tga

Yes, I’m doing that too, as there doesn’t seem to be any way for the Editor to read tex files. It’s an extra step and a bit of a pain, but hey, if it works it works :smiley:
