Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I was wondering how does one get an accurate 'life size' object into outerra? I've tried using 3DS Max and resizing it with the units set to meters and making sure it is the same size as its real life counterpart... but it seems a lot larger than everything else in outerra. Is there any trick to getting it an accurate size for outerra?

That is common in both, Max and Blender. Check your scale settings when exporting, whether in fbx or collada.

For example in Max:

Fbx exporter.
     Advanced.
         Units.

play with the settings.

[Shadowfita]

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I've set the unit sizes in 3ds Max to meters and it's resized accordingly but it's an abnormal size in outerra.

[KW71]

How are you exporting from Max to Outerra? If you are exporting to .fbx, check your scale settings in the fbx exporter, or do that in the collada exporter, if you are using .dae format.

[Shadowfita]

I'm using opencolleda, how would I change the exporting settings for that?

[KW71]

Don't know about opencollada settings... I would recommend you to start using the .fbx exporter (ctrl+F7 in Outerra)... Is the format that will prevail here.

Thanks for the replies, I had another question about hiding mesh with javascript... I've tried using this.geom.set_mesh_visible("meshname", false); but it doesn't seem to be hiding the mesh at all.

[KW71]

No idea about that... Hope somebody else can help you...

Thanks for the replies, I had another question about hiding mesh with javascript... I've tried using this.geom.set_mesh_visible("meshname", false); but it doesn't seem to be hiding the mesh at all.

if its for a vehicle, it has to be in the " function init_vehicle() { " section and after the "   this.geom = this.get_geomob(0); " line ...

Code: [Select]


... function init_vehicle() {
.
.
.
  this.geom = this.get_geomob(0);
.
.
.
  this.geom.set_mesh_visible_id(this.bs01_id, true);
.
.
.

   }

Yeah, I put it in the init_vehicle and it doesn't seem to do anything... what I have should render it 90% invisible.

 ... im not sure now if ya can have "rb_wheel":"default" in the mesh names ... you better allways use "_" on anything. I know i had a problem white some other symbols so i use just letters, numbers and "_". (and also avoiding too long names, like 35+ signs, doe i think Cameny did something about the lenght ... not sure yet)

[Shadowfita]

I'll give that a try, thanks.

Turns out outerra renamed the : to _ so it's now working , thanks.

 ... what, the importer did it automatically ?

[Shadowfita]

Yeah, it renamed the mesh from thing_thing:thing to thing_thing_thing.
