Hi

Opening an obj file works fine but where are the mapped textures aplied on the mesh.
No way to get them in KT

regards

Have you tried to copy the textures to the same folder where the obj-file is..??

Hi frederik

No, but unfortunately, cheetah3D dpesn't seem to export texture with obj file and I'm now trying to do the same with silo.

regards

And it doesn't works with silo 2.1 too

I've created a folder, I've got the obj file inside and a .mtl file ( 0 ko ) and no texture when I open the obj in KT.

regards

Please take all of the bit-map textures you've been using and copy them to the folder where you've saved the obj-file...

I'm sure it works..!!

Unfortunately I know zip about Silo, but there must be an export option where you can set it to export texture maps..??
There must be such an option...
Also an option where you specify that all meshes/faces needs to be triangulated (or maybe this is default) and also an option about the export scale units, in order to ensure that the size of the model is correct...

OK I've got it,

Save as new file, refine control mesh and triangulate,

Check obj export for uvmap export and open the obj file in KT, works fine.

now, I've got to learn how to merge my object in another scene

regards

oke great was looking for this.... what i tried was. Import the obj to blender than export it from there and it worked also fine!!!! so weird that one app can read the UV mapping data and the other app can't!!!! But thanks for this tip i'll try it.
