No textures from 3dws.

Is anyone able to import 3dws maps into the new Editor with textures? If so what is your pipeline? I've been trying all day without success. ie. I can get the map to be there and move around in it but no textures show up. I've tried all sorts of tools including those that come with the 2.3. I've tried making new maps and also using those that imported fine into the old Sandbox. I've used the 3dw2gmf converter and also tried converting through uunwrap3d. :D

What sort of map are you building in 3DWS? terrain, rooms or both?

OK just so you have something more to go on Gordon, I quickly made a simple box room with no roof in 3DWS, using two textures.

 

Werkflow:

 

1 Saved map to empty folder in .3dw format

 

2 exported map to same folder in .b3d format ( this exports the textures used in the map to the folder, saves

 

time. I then delete the .b3d file)

 

3. Used 3dw2gmf.cmd to convert to .gmf (making sure relevant dll's and exe's are in the new folder)

 

(3dw2gmf.cmd can be found here in Lumooja's power tutorial for Gamelib)

 

4. Use Genmat.exe to make .mat files (I am still using a 2.27 version)

 

*I only have DDS format textures in the 3DWS materials folder so obvioulsy convert non .dds textures to .dds

 

5. Move .gmf .mat's and .dds's to a folder in Models in 2.3

 

6. Tested in 2.3's editor:

I'm creating interiors, rooms etc. I'll be trying your pipeline this morning..

 

Update:.. found the source of my frustration. Firstly I needed to save my .dds files as DXTC5 and then I was naming the .mat file the same as the .gmf file instead of the material. ;) Also I appear to need a different mat file for each material.. Thanks for your help.

What do you mean, usually you add collision through the Engine. If you are using the Leadwerks Engine then through the Editor, in the the 'properties' of the object you have made in 3dws and converted to .gmf.

3DWS is just a modelling package. collisions will be handled by what ever software you are using to program in, what are you using?
