Vehicles invisible on Import
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:37:33 pm »
I'm trying to bring a car from 3DS Max into Outerra. My first problem is that no matter what sort of textures I try in 3DS, it's always invisible in Outerra. It is recognizing my DDS textures. So I think it's a geometry problem rather than a texture problem.

The second problem is that as soon as I spawn it, it starts bouncing around higher and higher until it leaves the atmosphere.

I am following the 3 part video tutorial here step by step: http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=1946.0

Any advice on this? I've converted my textures to DDS and put them in the C:\Users\NAME\Outerra\packages\OUTERRANAME\VEHICLE folder.

PLEASE help so I can start making mods for this amazing piece of software!

Fixed my problem! Somehow the model got scaled down to an incredibly small size, and didn't render at all in the game.

Thanks for reading!

Interesting :)

We should display the model size somewhere during the import, as the units are a common problem.
