Texture problems

by Mr Tithlyon · in Torque Game Engine · 09/12/2004 (3:43 pm) · 6 replies

Im using max 5.0, and I cant seem to export textures. I followed the documentation, ticking the mapping coords box, making a detail node with a number that matches the model's number. The .png is in the same folder I am expoting too. The model exports all right, but texture doesnt come through. Here is the bottom of the .dmp file:

Shape Hierarchy:

Details:
detail2, Subtree 0, objectDetail 0, size 2

Subtrees:
Subtree 0
FRWing2 --> Object FRWing with following details: 2

Sequences:

Material list:
material #0: "testtexture".


What am I doing wrong? Is it a max 5.0 problem?

Thanks in advance

Max has problems with png files. try jpeg or if th png has transparency, make an alpha channel for it and use it for max to understand it correctly.

If it's a simple shape try avoiding details, altough this can't be the bug. look for the lates exporter for max 5, there is one I know it.
or create a file in max from scratch and start over. texture must be 256x256 (or 128x128), jpeg or png with alpha channel, uv channel 1 (only), uv coordinats, bounds around the shape and export. ime tired so i may be dizzy in my explanations but hope you'll get over it. if not, read the docs, over and overrr again.

Can you see the shape ?
What i can see it looks ok in your dump .
png or jpg doesnt matter it works fine .
Make a double check on the texture so you have all things on the right place
because this should be working !

I got it! I was using a 400x400 jpeg. I changed it to 128x128 and away it went.

I could see the shape, it was just showed up white.

That had me stumped for weeks. Thanks everyone.
