MilkShape Export Not Showing Texture in -show

by Dan - · in Artist Corner · 11/19/2003 (5:10 pm) · 2 replies

I have exported my MilkShape Model to a .dts file. I have taken this file and my skin file and placed them in a subdirectory under shapes. I run torquedemo -show and I can load the model and it looks Ok but it doesn't have any textures on it. The texture file I am using is a JPG file within the PWD (Present Working Directory) of the .dts shape.

Any one know why the texture wouldn't be mapped? I tried different settings on the export and reading the torque document on exporting.

I am sure its something simple, so can anyone tell me?

Thank you,

PS - I do not have the "create a visable copy of the colision mesh" selected which would cause that to appear as a grey skinned item.

Make sure your textures are size correctly. 256x256 512x512 in the powers of 2. Odd size textures wont show up at all just a grey-shaded object that once was your shape.

That was the problem. When I created the texture it was 512x512 but along the way it went to 500x500. I need to invest in a good paint program that doesn't do funny things.

Thank you very much!
