3dsmax 2009 and .x X-porter = troubles

Makkura · March 18, 2009, 5:43pm

Hey all I’m rly frustrated atm since I can’t get anything to work.
I have 3dsmax 2009 and the attempt to export to a .egg file traumatically failed! This means it was untextured and completely white no matter what I did.

So I moved allong to my second solution and exported it to a .x format
Now I could apply textures but only with scripting

It seems my path is there but it wont apply it to my object.

Also I’m wondering how to run a animation when I have one for exmpl called. “walk”

This is my code of the .x file:

The only texture reference I see in that .x file is to “testtex.jpg”. Does that file exist, and is it in the same folder with your .x file? Do you see any error messages about that file being missing when you load it?

No, the file “is” there in the “same” folder as the .x file

drwr · March 19, 2009, 8:12pm

Well, it works for me. Are you sure you didn’t see any error messages when you loaded the x file?
