Free model convert to gmf issues

[Rick]

Here is a free model and I tried converting it to gmf via UU3D but I can't seem to see it in the LE model viewer. I'm curious if someone is able to get it viewable in the model viewer and let me know what they did to make it viewable or maybe provide the converted gmf file.

Thanks

didn't do anything special... just opened the 3ds file in uu3d and changed the material name to key02, used the converted dds texture named as key02 as the diffuse bitmap, saved it as a gmf, and created a standard mat file for it... seemed to work just fine... havent tried the other formats, but perhaps there is an issue with one of them...

No problems here with any of the formats (.3ds .x .obj), straight forward conversion.

Here is what I did and it didn't work.

 

1. I extracted just the key2.3ds, key2.mtl, & key-02.tga.

2. Opened key2.3ds in UU3D

3. Expanded Materials tree on the right and renamed it to key02

4. Saved as key2.gmf. Chcked all save options.

5. Opened key-02.tga in Paint.NET and convert to key02.dds

6. Created a key2.mat file with

texture0="abstract::key02.dds"
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular.frag"

 

7. Open key2.gmf in model viewer and I get nothing.

 

What am I missing?

 

 

 

When I look at the gmf model I see material.key-02.tga inside it. So even if I make my mat file key-02.mat it doesn't work.

 

 

Here is the resulting conversion when I do it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1293842/DG.zip

it looks like you forgot to uncheck the "Export bones" and "Export Animation" option when you create the gmf file. You need to recreate the gmf file and you need to uncheck this option. Then everything should work.

[Rick]

That's what it was. Those were checked already, probably from the character models I was converting before. I guess I didn't think it would cause issues when exporting a model without a bones or animation. Thanks!

Export bones and Export Animation are on as default.
