DTS Import problem- works in show tool pro

by Nathan Allen · in Torque X 3D · 04/09/2010 (7:45 am) · 5 replies

I am trying to import a bunch of DTS models. Unfortunately they don't show up in torque X builder.

They show fine in show tool pro and even the boombot one doesn't work.

The version of tx3d is 3.1.4

Clarification: They are in the tree of the asset browser. They just show a gizmo only in the world after being added to the scene.

UPDATE: Tried it using the source code found in the complete guide to torquex book using their boombot model. Still didn't show up.

Are they scaled down to a tiny size?

No, i just looked. There is not even as much as a white box indicating an untextured shape.

I tried re-installing the program, making a new project totally, the only thing that even displays the dts object is the fps demo. The reason I can't use that demo is that the level files don't open because it says something about starter.testcamera not castable.

is fbx usable for animations and static at this version of the build?

Only DTS models show up in the builder. I just tried it again, did you get the textures as well?

I draged my models and textures to my VS project. Compile then open in builder. I don't know what else to ask.

Hopefully we'll get our new release soon.

did you make sure it said copy if newer under copy options? I changed that and for some reason it worked.
