im unable to load textures into ac3d
The only textures im able to load are the secondlife ones (samples) and copies of sample/default secondlife textures.For other texture formats such as: png, jpeg, jpg, tga, giff etc. ac3d says it has loaded texture but nothing shows in any of the views nor in the texture coordinate editor.
I have had this problem on an earlier version of ac3d, but one day it suddenly started working perfectly.... Until i installed the new version, is this a bug or is my computer screwing things up.....?? (iv´e reinstalled it twice...still doesnt work) |

Re: im unable to load textures into ac3d
Have you switched textures off by pressing 't' (or using the orth/3d menus)?
Try loading a background image and see if that shows (menu above each orth window). |

Re: im unable to load textures into ac3d
That image works fine as a background image and as a texture here.
Check that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card. Also check that you screen depth is set to 24 or 32 bit. |

Re: im unable to load textures into ac3d
I changed screen depth/resolution to 32 and updated graphics card driver (no new ones where found), the card I have is an ati mobility radeon 7500.....which should be enough I think.
I still cant load background images nor textures....except the SL samples....very odd....

Re: im unable to load textures into ac3d
Just a guess, try to put your background image / textures in a folder that contains no spaces nor special characters (ex : c:\test) and see if that helps.

Re: im unable to load textures into ac3d
