texture export problems

[Yami]

When i export an object form ac3d and open it up in another aplication there is no texture to it, however when i re-open the object in ac3d the texture is still there.

any ideas?

What format are you exporting into what program?

If it's 3DS, you must ensure that the texture is in the same place as .3ds file.

In other programs, check that the texture file format you used is supported by the software you are using.

The model is textured with a .tga texture however i have had these problems with all the other formats as well. Both texture and model were saved to my desktop. I had imported it to 3DS max 5 and Swift 3D as well. I get the model as well as any color added in ac3d but no textures :(

I haden't ben able to texture with tga befor i added a plugin that i bieleve i downloaded from this site. Could there be a problem with the plugin?

If you texture the model in 3DS 5, does it appear? (it may only appear when rendering?).

If it does appear in 3DS, email me a sample file and texture and I'll have a look.

I dont know how to texture in 3ds, why do you think im using ac3d? :P

I exported the file for a game and when i opened it i the map maker the object still had no texture and thast what im shooting for, weather it works in 5000 page tutorial 3ds or not. :wink:

I should have a link up to the file shortly

Ok, due to cheap hosting the link thing wont be happening any time soon. By chance do you have an email i could send it through? The file is only 5 kb so it shouldnt crowd your mail box to much :wink:
