Weapon material not displaying

by Brian Carlson · in Artist Corner · 01/14/2006 (5:09 pm) · 4 replies

Hi, I made a very basic weapon, and at this point is just a model without any animation. I have a skin for it and the node 'MountPoint', but the skin never displays. Also, ever since I made my custom character (which my character skin DOES work on), I can only view the weapon when I'm looking down at the ground, it disappears at straitforward or looking upward. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure the texture is a power of 2. 128x128, 256x64, 512x512.......

I feel just a little ashamed forgetting to make the texture a power of 2, but surprisingly it didn't fix my problem. Thanks for that though.

Do you have the texture in the right folder? Is the name of the texture the same of that the model uses? What formatt is the file saved as?

Success! The material is properly skined to the model, thanks. Any chance i could get help on the 'must look down to view weapon in 1st person' problem?
