The export format is Fbx. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>For the rule file I've copied and re-edited </SPAN><STRONG>Tutorial 15 Facades rule and related assets</STRONG><SPAN>. Later on I've created my own Window and facade textures, and replaced with the existing textures. </SPAN><SPAN style="font-style:italic;">Old textures were totally deleted from the system.</SPAN><SPAN> (see figure), and previews updated.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>CE can easily visualize and generate the models with my new textures. But the problem is (as you can see at the figures attached), 3D Model export collects all </SPAN><SPAN style="font-style:italic;">existing and non-existing textures together</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>And this ends up with a texturing failure in 3D Max. Some windows are visualized without a texture etc...</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Am I missing a point during the export or making a mistake in the rule file. For instance I have the random window texture variable as - randomWindowTexture = fileRandom("*facades/textures/window.*.tif") - in the rule; is it maybe checking all workspace even Tutorial 15 and collecting all textures named </SPAN><SPAN style="font-style:italic;">window. </SPAN><SPAN>?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Or CityEngine is caching the textures somewhere that I don't know.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance for the response!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>PS. I've deleted and reloaded my building shapes, and re-generate the model several times. But it didn't change a thing... </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>�?zgür</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:30:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/3d-model-export-with-non-existing-textures/m-p/87446#M1219 ÖzgürErtac 2012-11-08T07:30:01Z Re: 3D Model Export with non-existing textures https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/3d-model-export-with-non-existing-textures/m-p/87447#M1220 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Original User: matthiasbuehler</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hi !</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>note that the first * in your wildcard search searches the whole workspace (basically all projects). so it can be that the textures are found in an other project first.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>use e.g. fileRandom("assets/facades/*")</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>ok ?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Nov 2012 07:50:14 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/3d-model-export-with-non-existing-textures/m-p/87447#M1220 Anonymous User 2012-11-08T07:50:14Z Re: 3D Model Export with non-existing textures https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-cityengine-questions/3d-model-export-with-non-existing-textures/m-p/87448#M1221 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><BLOCKQUOTE class="jive-quote">matthiasbuehler;247823</BLOCKQUOTE><BR /><SPAN> </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Solved!
