Did you try ALL of them?

And you did select the model and went into the Select Face mode?
Because if you didn't, of course you wouldn't be able to see a difference :p


yes i had it selected...
again i looked at the customize UI interface window...and NOTHING resembles towards "faces"

... Are you really from the USA?
Because I didn't understand any of that :D
And I can't see if you have one ugly axe, or many different axes.. From the files, I can only see one AXE mesh..

whenever i point the light the axe head...i can see right through it the first face of the axe and see the back of the other face (the axehead is hollow but it is letting me straight through the axe head

In RenX, you haven to select the polygons for the axe head (the part that looks weird), then go to the Modifiers tab, Mesh Editing, Normal Modifier, and finally click Flip Normals.

That is how it's done in 3ds Max. I don't know if it can be done in RenX, if not, then somebody will have to do it for you.

Yes

Don't use textures other people have made though.
If you really mean pictures, then you're free to do so. If you want to skin Aragorn's face, you're free to use your own Avatar for example
Some pictures are copyrighted.. I usually don't care for that :)

how would i go about making a forged blade effect that looks like a circle....
the glow effect

EDIT: there is already blue on the texture....but the problem is that when you use it ingame you cant see it....i could just edit the texture itself but someone would have to tell me what effects or things i would do to make a glow effect

Sounds to me like you are asking how to make the Forged Blades' glow effect.

As for a circle.. Just squash a normal Forged Blades until it's a roundish shape. And even making a new one isn't hard, it's only a black and white image, the white being the glowing part.
