Max 9 32-bit Exports without textures

by Leonardo Ferrer · in Torque Game Engine · 08/05/2007 (7:34 pm) · 4 replies

I tried to export a simple cylinder with a Bitmap material, used a UVW Map modifier and move it to face, then used quick setup with Skinned mesh activated. Then I used Export Dts and exported it to the folder of the texture. Then I tried to open it with the Show Tool Pro and was in Texture Shaded Solid and it was white. Then I tried in the mission editor and the shape was grey. Can you figure out what I did wrong?

The most common reason for textures to not show up is that their dimensions aren't power of two. (That is 32, 64, 128, 256, etc).

I missed that little detail. I tried it again and worked. Thanks Magnus.

He means, a texture needs to be a power of 2 to export.

256 x 256 pixels
or
512 x 512 pixels

and so on...This wont work:

537 x 537 pixels (not a power of 2)
