I have a scene in 3ds and it looks fine in both the 3ds viewport as well as the oFusion viewport. But when i export it... not all the textures are applied to the level.
I will go through my creation process because it differs from the tutorials on the site.
My creation process is pretty simple:
1) model with simple shapes (im very inexperienced in 3ds)
2) make my textures
2a) I make my materials by creating a new oFusion material
2b) then just using the max viewport/render material then i hit evaluate
3) i use a map scaler binding modifier to line up the textures
4) i combine all my simple shapes by
4b) converting all to a editable poly
4c) use list attact to attach all the objects into one poly
5) export to .mesh file
Like i said, the scene looks fine in both the both the 3ds viewport as well as the oFusion viewport.
Why doesn't this export properly?
I'm pretty sure that im using the latest oFusion.
Thank's to all who help. And a BIG thanks to Lioric for this great tool
edit:
Some Notes:
1) The only texture that applies properly is the base object that i attach all the other objects to.
2) I get very bad frame rates with this un-textured mesh. I would figure that ogre would get better frame rates if it doesn't have to texture everything.
I believe that these steps might be what is messing this up:
2b) then just using the max viewport/render material then i hit evaluate
i have never used this evaluate feature but it seems to work.
3) i use a map scaler binding modifier to line up the textures
i dont know if oFusion can export this modifier (or any)
4) i combine all my simple shapes by
4b) converting all to a editable poly
4c) use list attach to attach all the objects into one poly
I do this to make one big mesh so i can use it for my physics too. I have used this method to export before, but i belive it was an earlier version.
