I'm doing a test export from blender to direct x.  The model is fine as long as I uncheck flip z, but there is no texture.  I'm experimenting with another engine also (irrlicht) and that one shows the texture. 

[Mnemonic]

How does the generated X file reference the textures? With or without path? WME assumes the textures are in the same directory where the model is. Also, is it a static model or does it use bones?

Hi guys,

This is actually a bug with the blender export script. fireside, open your script and scroll down to the material section. I think you'll find that all the materials have the same name

I've got this and a couple of other things fixed already. I'm hopefully going to release a fixed version of this script in the next day or two. I'll post it here when I'm done. In the meantime just give your materials in the .x file different names and that should solve it,

addendum: I should mention that this is only in the case of multiple textures mapped to a single mesh. In any case if you again open the .x file and scroll down to the materials section you should see the filename for the texture. Just make sure it points to the right place and that the file exists. Remember that if there is no "c:\*****\****" in front of it and it is only "image.jpg" then the image needs to be in the same folder as the .x file (of course you probably already knew that but I mention it for completeness)

Code: [Select]

  Material Material {
    0.800000; 0.800000; 0.800000;1.0;;
    0.500000;
    1.000000; 1.000000; 1.000000;;
    0.0; 0.0; 0.0;;
  }  //End of Material
  Material Mat1 {
    1.0; 1.0; 1.0; 1.0;;
    1.0;
    1.0; 1.0; 1.0;;
    0.0; 0.0; 0.0;;
  TextureFilename {    "brownSpots.jpg";  }
  }  // End of Material
    }  //End of MeshMaterialList

This is the material section.  I put the file brownSpots.jpg (it was a texture from an old mushroom of mine all right?) in the same file.  It was a reworked teapot with the new x file in the path.  I put the jpg with the x file in wme.   I've tried two textures so far and it hasn't named them the same.  I've been only experimenting with a static model so far.

Can you try converting it to skinned model? Like, for example, just including one bone and assigning all vertices to it for starters. If I remember correctly someone was having material problems when exporting boneless models from Blender.

[fireside]

Ok, I'll give it a try.

[fireside]

same results.  Here's the whole file, it's just a box with one bone and one action:

I upgraded to Blender 2.45 and the texture is showing up now.  I'm not positive if I did something different or it's the upgrade.  Anyway, it's a start.
