Error importing OBJ

IonutAlixandroae — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 13:53:53 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem importing an OBJ Model exported from Maya.

I did the model in Maya and also textured it but when I want to import it in CE some of the textures are missing ( some colors appears instead), and also I can import the obj model only as static model.

Any settings that have to be done in Maya before exporting or any solution?

Thanks !

Try Collada?

Hi,

maybe the colors you see are those of the 'unknown texture' texture file that is assigned if a texture is not found.

check:

- are all textures in the same folder as the obj file and the mtl file

- the files are in typical formats ( e.g. tif, jpg, png, ..)

let me know..

I think there was a problem with the .mtl file when exported from Maya..

Thanks !!
