ppl, how to establish connection with model and textures for creating .mtl file ?

for correct formatin decimal numbers witch any locale add this (i had comma separated digits - must be dot) and i think its be base problem with this converter ...

I would say, we already should be capable to make this:

http://www.diablowiki.com/Skeleton_Arch ... blo_III%29

1) as we have a converter, that makes .obj + .tex from app files
2) then we can convert the .tex to .dds
3) the away3D engine can open .obj files easily

I've already attached an away3d action script code (in this thread), which opens an obj, puts textures onto it, and then moves a light around the model.
I just don't know why it's not working with my .obj + .dds files.

Guys, we have the knowledge together ... come on!

??

Yeah, Monguron, do some work and add it together, cause I don not know how.

I don't seem to find a way to connect the 2 together, there is no reference to the data extracted from the app file that has any link to the material files...

Your source code in C# is very nice TaylorMouse, why don't just develop it by adding some function to display the 3d mesh. C#.NET can be easily added to website, too.

Thnx,

the code actually looks even nicer, because that code has been taken using Reflector.NET

the only problem is that I don't know how to easily display 3D models using C# :/

Any suggestions?

Hey Guys,

many days passed since I could check the forum... (perhaps 4 or 5 )

so ...

As I've said I could load a model in flash, but the texturing is a different story...

I try to do my best, and will tell you if I have any progress.

I converted the Adria_A_diff.dds and Adria_A_spec.dds files to .png format, so there is an improvement, but it seems there are some texturing problems...

1) I'm using this code in away3d

[Embed(source="/../embeds/adria/Adria_A_diff.png")]
private var Albedo : Class;

[Embed(source="/../embeds/adria/Adria_A_spec.png")]
private var Specular : Class;


But It seems the spec.png is not on the object, and also the original diff.png is misaligned in some parts, or ....?

any idea?

When you convert them to png ? are they rotated by 360° , I ask this because some formats of dds have the nasty habit of being internally rotated up side down. :/

I know, I don't know why


T.

Well, if you use a decent 3D modeling program like 3DStudio in stead of some freeware

then it builds the normals automatically

T.

Hmm perhaps you say something, but I think you wanted to write 180° and not 360° ...

The situation with the model:
- When I load the model in Maya, it must be rotated by -90 degrees around both the Y and the Z axises
- When I load it in 3D studio, it's OK
- When I load it in the flash (away3D), it's misaligned as well, as in Maya

So I rotated the model in Maya and wanted to export it in .obj format, but Maya can make other formats

Then I wanted to load the model in 3DS, but it was originally good. Or should I rotate it anyway, and then it will be improper in 3DS, but properly aligned in Maya and in flash (away3D).

Anyway, as said before, the normals are not exported apperantly, and therefor in 3D Max it works just fine, since after the import, MAX does a recalc of the normals

T.

the only problem is that I don't know how to easily display 3D models using C# :/

Any suggestions?

Can we use Microsoft XNA, an engine game, written by C# to make the model viewer?
You can see the tutorial here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 31%29.aspx

XNA naturally support .fbx and .dds, so we need the plugin to read .obj
http://www.roastedamoeba.com/blog/archi ... rs-for-xna

But It seems the spec.png is not on the object, and also the original diff.png is misaligned in some parts, or ....?

any idea?

You get a wrong UV. May be you need to flip it.
