Texturing JKA models [Solved]

[Kingpin]

I've converted a .glm to a .obj, and then loaded it in XSI. When I try to texture it, I am having quite a hard time. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

When I try to texture it

what do you mean? the model appear untextured and you apply it manually, or the UV its different?

[Kingpin]

It does not have a texture, so I go to image>phong, and when I do, all of the UV uses the same texture all mumbo-jumbo.

of course, becuase when you do that, must appear a little windows asking for what to do

[Kingpin]

Alright, so this is what I am doing:

So I have my model, and I select the foot to texture. I then right click on it in explorer, and go to Inspect Material.

I then hit that small button under the check mark, and press Image.

Then, this comes up.


What do I do now?

with noesis i have found that you need to check the flip UVs box, at least with jka models.

In the image box simply choose the right texture if the object already has uvs

I never ported an jka model, but i klick on new-> new from file and that's it If you already load the image i press "the noIcon_pic" bar, scroll down to my image and that's it

Thanks! Works like a charm!

When you export an *.obj from Noesis you can opt for an *.mtl file also by typing -objmtl into the Advanced options line. This will prevent you from having to browse to textures and reassign them on import in other software.

From the Advanced Commands menu:

WaveFront OBJ
-objmtl - enables export of mtl file with the obj.
