I know that there is a tutorial in the launcher for doing this and i have tried that but my bitmaps only work in 3ds max and it says error could not find shader for: blah blah blah. The bitmaps are changed from bmp to .bitmap files but do i have to create a custom detail map and bump map or what. Please tell me what the F*** I am doing wrong.

Is your shader in a location that your shader_collections file can find it? I mean is it in a preexisting shader folder like f_im?

You dont have to have a bump bitmap but i'm sure you know you have to create a shader for your bitmap.
