Importing from cinema 4d?

#1 I haven't used Milkshape in years, but did you UV Map the model or just apply textures to the faces?

#2 I just applied textures to the faces, nothing to complex.

#3 You dont say much about your textures or how you assign texture in Milkshape. First is your texture jpg or png, Torque only support them. Next are they power of 2 (128 x 128, 256 x 256, 256 x 512, 512 x 512, etc). I can tell Milkshape export model that work in Torque. If you like email me one your simple I will setup for in Milshape. It real easy to get simple model out MilkShape.

#4 I can not test this since I do not own Cinema4d, but you might want to try exporting models to the .FBX format, then importing them into Milkshape. You might be able to transfer animations too with FBX.

#5 Thanks for the suggestions, I will go and try them out now. If I still have no luck Fucifer, itd be great if you could check it out for me. Anyway I'll let u know, thanks again.

#6 Alright perhaps I understand my problem a little better now. I think the problem lies in Cinema 4D .obj conversion. It doesnt export any textures with an obj, the .mtl file might as well not be there. So I used the riptide obj exporter plugin to try it, however milkshape then wouldnt import obj's from riptide so I couldnt do that. Are there any other programs out there with .dts export? What do most people generally use?

I tried Louis' suggestion of fbx but as it turns out cinema 4d once again performed ridiculously on the texture front. For some reason a mostly black object went red. I will keep trying on it anyway, and let you know if I need any more help.

Cheers,

Jan

#7 Blender is free and can work with OBJ files. Unfortunately, like most OBJ implementations, I'm not sure how it will react between C4D's export and Blender's import.

#8 I use LightRay3d, it is not free but work oustanding for me. It is little like 3dsMax to use. Have you try any other formats like 3ds. I dont have cinema 4d so not sure it exports are.
