In Part 2 of this 3ds Max tutorial, we will Texture Map the German WII HO 229 flying wing model.

Use the Unwrap UVW modifier to lay out the surface areas of the model. Then render the layout to a PNG template to use in your paint program.

The Texture maps include:

Diffuse Map (the base color map)

Normal Map (adds more 3D detail to the model)

Specular Map (adds reflection to parts of the model)

This will bring the model visually to life.

Finally, we will Render a scene of the Flying Wing with a cloudy sky background.
