Hello!

The idea for making models besides maps has come to me already a few years ago when I started mapping. But not that I never tried to model, because I do, I can. I've even worked with a lot of 3D modelling editors. So far I have chosen to use Modo from luxology a really nice advanced editor.

Anyway, now I've got a new idea or you might also call it a problem. Because I can't get it working somehow. I'm trying to export (OBJ or LWO) textured models from Modo to Radiant. For the .obj export everything seems to import correctly, except the textures, the size of the misc_model and the axis. But the .lwo export, doesn't import any geometry at all.

Instructions for all kinds of 3D editors

Quote

1. Create a 3D model with a texture in a 3D editor what has the option to export (indirect) to one of the importable extensions of your Radiant.

## .OBJ {
?
}

## .LWO {
2. Create a UV map for the image
3. Fix your material name(s) to models/path/to/bakedIMG (without extension)
4. Bake your UV map to an image and save it in the material name it's directory
5. Save your scene as LWO file and you're ready to go.
} ##

Put all stuff in the right folder and now import!

The LWO error log would suggest you are exporting quads instead of triangles, have a look at the export options to see if there is an option to change from exporting quads to exporting triangles. Or manually triangulate your model before exporting.

I've never got the OBJ import to work; I don't think importing materials has ever worked on OBJ files. (Unless someone can prove me wrong here)

I have had working .obj files with textures that are coherent to the model, was a long time ago since I've done any sort of modelling work though.

Okay I tried to triangulate my meshes in my LWO project and it worked! My 3D-block geometry got imported successfully but the textures didn't work yet. I forgot that everything have to be UV mapped and the UV map needs to be bake to an image. So I search for more specific help...

http://docs.luxology...portExport.html
http://docs.luxology...ngWorkflow.html

And BAM fixed! I bet that every 3d-editor tool has a its own documentation where you can find all sorts of information about this kind of business.

Thank you mate

for the record, i'm using a couple .obj's in my current project... the axes were all messed up, and the textures didn't show, but that was fixable... make sure your textures are in an acceptable container... i had .jpegs and reexported them from gimp as tga and used _remap to much success... "angles 0 0 0" can fix pitch/yaw/etc

Hello, guys!
I need to export weapon and player models from UrT to Milkshape or 3DS Max with animations. How I can do this? I can export only meshes, without animations =(
And how I can view models and animations? I use "MD3View" program, but it's dont show textures and messing up anims. Maybe you using other program?
Sorry for my bad english.
