Black texture loading .3ds model

[kkl]

Hi Egon,

When I tried to load 3ds model into jpct-ae, it showed the 3D object with black texture. Did I miss something? I did exactly like in JPCT wiki tutorial. I'm using Blender 2.66a to export the 3ds. If I call calcTextureWrapSpherical(), the texture shows. Unfortunately, I want it to follow the texture mapping in 3ds instead of jpct texture wrapping.

//onSurfaceChanged
try {
Object3D obj = load3DSModel(context.getAssets().open("monkey.3ds"), 20);
obj.setName("monkey");
obj.build();
world.addObject(obj);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("kkl", "Error reading 3ds", e);
}

private Object3D load3DSModel(InputStream is, float scale) {
Object3D[] model = Loader.load3DS(is, scale);
Object3D o3d = new Object3D(0);
Object3D temp = null;
for (int i = 0; i < model.length; i++) {
temp = model[i];
temp.setCenter(SimpleVector.ORIGIN);
temp.rotateX((float) (-.5 * Math.PI));
temp.rotateMesh();
temp.setRotationMatrix(new Matrix());
o3d = Object3D.mergeObjects(o3d, temp);
o3d.build();
}
return o3d;
}

If it appears after calling calcTextureWrap, i see no other reason than that the coordinates in the file aren't present or that they aren't correct. Can you upload the file for verification?

Ok. I've attached 3ds file and a snapshot from Blender.

Hi Egon, I think I found the solution.

These are the following steps I did:
1. Create object
2. Open uv/image editor to open image in object editor mode. (I think this part does the texture coord mapping)
3. Set material and texture for the object by opening the same image (I think this part creates the texture name in order to link the texture name to TextureManager in JPCT, but not texture coord mapping)
4. Export the 3ds, and there, it worked!

I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but somehow it worked! Hope this would help the rest of developers who have the same problem too ; )
