Trying to import a model from 3dsmax, not having much luck though.
« on: May 28, 2013, 12:38:31 am »
So I was just trying to import a model but I'm getting a "missing/wrong UVs" error and the textures dont load, then when I try to place my model, I get a building instead?

There's a bug in the builder window in the latest update, places a wrong object, working on it.

Oh, ok. Any idea about the UV error and on texture? :)

Did you convert the textures to DDS? Those UV errors can be usually ignored ...

Yup, converted all the textures, though there are many and various types of .dds... I can upload a copy somewhere if you want to try it yourself?

Yes, you can export it as a package and share somewhere.

I think you just fixed the placement bug? :D

Doh! I just had to manually enter the texture filenames into the .matlib file XD

The normal maps dont seem to work though and I'm guessing tex_reflectance equates to specular mapping?

Here is a copy of the model: lp_mech01.rar (2.1 MB)
