Crap Textures When Animating

Maya
1

hi guys im pretty dumb at maya... i finally managed to texture a door front and back using the uv texture editor,.. but i did this after i animated the door to open. so now when the door opens the texture dosent follow it, it juist looks right at the point inthe animation where i textured it. so when it opens the texture looks pretty crap. what am i doing wrong ? please please help me.

also can you guys also help me on how to export stuff from 3d max into maya. i did read the tutorial on highend, but still i get the error unrecognized file. im using maya 2008... what can i do ?

delete the history on the door

which file format were you trying to export from Max

3

the format is .3ds

actually all im trying to do is to open files from buildingenvironments.com in maya.
also im running maya2008 in a Mac and 3dmax in a windows so i need to switch OS. maybe thats where the problem lies.. what can i do ?

I think you need to install the bonus tools to import 3ds files
