How do you combine textures maps? You see, when I convert a model from Homeworld to Freespace 2, the orientation is wrong. So I need to import the model into Truespace and make it face the right way. Problem is, Truespace kills the textures, so I need to reapply them. That is easy in a model with just one subobject and one map, but when you have multiple textures thanks to the conversion, you can't really reapply them all.
So, is there a way to recombine texture maps? Like since there's only one suboject, can I combine the various texture maps? Or is there a way to use multiple texture maps on one subobject? I don't have the USD$40 to buy 3D Exploration...

Also in half related news, I can't get my loadpic to work. the file is in the interface folder, is a .pcx file, 256 colours, and the tbl files says the correct name, without the .pcx extension, of course. It still doesn't show up. Can someone please help?

Use the Paint Face tool. As long as the UV spaces are still there that shouldn't do any problems.
As for 3DE, you don't need to buy it, even after the trial period it has no serious restrictions, the only ones are that it only lets you load five models and save one.

You're um... Lost me here. So I go, use the paint face too and pain the faces with one of the textures... So I used the UFO tool, and that's with the one texture. So then I switch to another texture and paint that on... But it doesn't work, because it just either re-paints the whole model or if I use the paint face tool, it just doesn't apply right... Am I painting the wrong face? So else what? Please help.

Sorry, I don't get that. Truespace does a lot of crap but that?
Two things I could think of:
1. Possibly there is another face in front of this one, so Truespace assumes you want to paint this face. In this case, try to paint from a different angle, or flip the face that's in the way temprary, until you are ready with painting the faces behind it.
2. There are more then one face at the place that you try to paint. This usually shouldn't happen, but it's a possibility. Then just delete all but one of them.
