Hi, it has been a while since I worked in 3ds max, and I pretty much forgot everything.. :facepalm:  First of all, if anyone has any information / good-to-knows about Moria models, I'll thankfully take them all. They seem to use two textures, and I already don't know how to apply them both.

Anyway, the reason for this topic is this (and sorry for the bad quality):

Left is how it turns out after exporting, right is how it looks in the view before exporting. I'm exporting it as a Hierarchical Model, and I'm only exporting Geometry because I'm not using any bones. Why does the lighting get tuned up so hard? In W3D Viewer there is a LIGHT mesh included which does not seem to be present as an object in the 3dsmax scene. I'm lost.. so help is welcome. :)

Yes, the Moria models use two textures, I don't know much else about them. I assume you're wanting to make faction buildings? I'd recommend making your own texture (if you haven't already). And feel free to PM me and I can send you a good edit of the vanilla BfME 2 textures which I desaturated and darkened so that they matched the look of Moria.

 

I don't know why the texture is so lit in W3D Viewer, I'd want to see which texture you were using and the material settings. You could also try creating a new material from the beginning with nothing fancy.
