Can't get the shading right - 3ds / obj

[3-S-E]

Hi all,

the day before I was trying to import a 3ds and an obj file into my jPCT-AE based app, but couldn't figure out why the shading of the faces went so damn wrong.

This is how it should be (flat shaded with diffuse-colors on dedicated polys):



And this is a capture from my SGS2 device how it becomes:




I've tried to export my (triangle-only - no quads, no fancy stuff) model to a 3ds-file with 3ds max 2012 and Blender 2.58 (btw.: the worst and non-intuitive modeling-tool ever! Sorry, but it irritates me every time again I'm trying to give it a chance). Then I've tried to export it to obj with 3ds max and maya 2012 - same result on import in jPCT.

I've attached both, the 3ds- and obj-files.

Please give me a hint, what I'm doing wrong?!

Cheers...

try this object.setShadingMode(Object3D.SHADING_FAKED_FLAT);

If I enable this flat-shading mode, I get this:



It's still the same 3ds-file as attached to my initial post.

No Diffuse-Colors either.

Can you please post the log output when loading the 3ds?

I gave these files a try. The 3ds version is one of those that stores the diffuse color in a way that i was never able to read correctly. These files store the color in some undocumented way and i couldn't make any sense of it...which is why (at least the desktop version does this, not sure about AE) a message is logged to the console. However, i've exported the file from DeepExploration and that one can be read just fine.
About the OBJ-format: You can't load diffuse colors from that one without the mtl-file, so i couldn't try that.

I'll post the code for the test case for desktop jPCT and the converted file:
