Genmat is in the tools folder of the sdk

thanks cassius, i finally found it..i was doing a little kidding around earlier...i have finally got the model to work in the model viewer, the editor and works by hard coding...it was just a matter of keep looking, asking and trying....

 

I recommend you have a look at the documentation tutorials

digitalhax, i have been reading and studying the docs for three days....it just seems that when i get into something new and different it just takes a while for me to get going....i do appreciate all the help that i'm receiving here....when cassius said this is a programmers engine and thayt i should like it, he wasn't kidding...i love this engine....thanks to all for the help....i will try to search more in the forums before asking any more questions...thanks again....

cassius,

i was looking everywhere on google for that genmat tool....kept getting hits for a oriental guy named gen mat....i am just trying to get a textured cube to show up in the model viewer or the world editor now....not having much luck with the texture part...finally got texture converted correctly to .dds and was able to view it in the material editor after using gen mat...got model and texture and mat file in the models folder...tried putting model in the sandbox or world editor and it crashed immediately....model was converted to gmf from .x format...tried from carrara and from 3d canvas and xsi mod tool....have 3ds max 2013 but it is only the trial version....maybe one day i will get a model into this engine....never had this much trouble in my life....oh, thanks pixel perfect for your response...i will keep trying...thanks all...

as for 8" disks...maybe i'm not as old as i thought...but it is great to see a more mature forum group....as for the .mat files...are these created using engine tools or in a modeler....??...oh, it is nice to meet each of you....and thanks

ok, searching around i have got more info on the material editor to make the .mat files...i am sorry that i missed this part...it is just a different way of doing things and will take a little time to get it all right....i am usually good about studying the docs and watching the vids...it seems the editor does not like some of the .bmp files converted to .dds...i will keep working at it till i get it right....thanks again....

i understand...the editor is great....i was working with code in the example with the spinning cube and tryng to load models with code....this is one reason i have chosen leadwerks as my new engine...i love coding....i love editors too...i just enjoy hard coding things sometimes...i was really turned off by engines like unity....scripting each object leaves code all over the place...it works but makes a big mess of a large game...just my opinion....i really appreciate the help and the quick response...i think i'll like it here....that is a cool cat in your photo...my cat is named princeton...he is huge....thanks again....

thanks cassius, i appreciate the warm welcome....at the moment i am using the evaluation...i was wondering if it allows loading models...i have yet to get one to load except for creating cubes and primatives...i tried 3 different modeling programs and converted the models to .gmf...for some reason i am having trouble getting them to show in program...i went through all the tutorials available and still no success....

hello,

I am new here, but have followed the development of this software for a while...i come from a background of mostly basic programming but know a little in java, java script, python and some c++...i plan to buy leadwerks within a month...the community here seems like something i would be proud to be part of...i have been part of communities that were a bunch of rude unprofessional kids and wanna bees....i am older and come from the days of the +5" disk...i was just wondering if i would be able to join the community project as a learning experience until i am able to contribute?...after i buy the program of course....if not it is still ok...i am mostly just a hobbiest, but still have the dream...you know the one that i'm talking about...when you hit the big one....oohoooh what a feelin'....anyways, i am CreativeOcclusion....thanks
