showing 3DS model without texture

[guillaume]

My colleague have made  a model for me. He only apply some material to the model, and not texture.
the model looks realistic  in Cinema 4D. and he export the model to .3ds file, and I load this file to jPCT,
the model looks black in jPCT,   how can I make it looks realistic as it in Cinema 4D ? thanks.

jPCT loads texture coordinates and names from 3DS as well as diffuse colors (but only if there are no textures assigned). Everything else will be ignored.
If the file contains diffuse colors but still comes out black, have a look at the log output. Diffuse colors can exist in two different formats. The file itself doesn't contain any information about which one it uses, so jPCT has to guess. However, some exporters create diffuse color information that i couldn't make any sense of.
If this is the case, this will be written to the log.

here is the log, there has a line " I/jPCT-AE ( 3464): Texture named RCA_orig.jpg added to TextureManager!"
seems like jPCT-AE find a texture in the model file, but my colleague said he doesn't mapping any texture. strange.

jPCT doesn't make this up. If it finds this texture name, it's defined in the file...

[guillaume]

thanks. I will check this.
