Stupid question

[Mercyful]

Hi, I'm the noobiest person in the world and I got a super-dumb question, I've been the whole day trying to make this work. Well... don't laugh.

I'm trying to set a texture to a model I downloaded but doesn't work, I use as base tutorial 4 Movement from the SDK.


scene::IAnimatedMesh* gun = smgr->getMesh("media/mygun.x");
scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;
node = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(gun);
node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("guntext.bmp"));
node->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);

I tried the texture with the cube from de tutorial and worked perfectly.
The .x shows kind of blue.

Well I hope I haven't bother you too much, thanks.

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("guntext.bmp")); 

Is the file guntext.bmp in the same directory as the executable, or more specifically, the working directory? I'd think it would be in the same directory as the model file. If that is the case, then you need to provide the path to the texture.

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("media/guntext.bmp"));

Thank you a lot for the answer but... no, it's not that I tried that but it's the same, I also tried with .3ds but still the same, oh and I just downloaded another model and seems like work but the texture looks green, but besides this model no other model work.

Is there some output on the console (the dos window...)?

[Mercyful]

Thanks again, well I check the DOS windows and says that the texture and models are ok.

[Strong99]

how many textures has the gun have? ( in the model self? )
i guess it has something to do with the texture coordinates

[hybrid]

Then there are probably no texture coordinates in the model. Textures won't work on it without doing some more stuff, e.g. uv mapping it in a 3d modeller.

Well noone is perfect. Noone born with all knowledge. Plz respect yourself and dont say that again

[Mercyful]

Well thanks again, uv mapping??? that means that I should do something with the model when I am making it? so I can't use models I download, I tried use the makePlanarTextureMapping from Special_FX tutorial but nothing happens, also tried the same models in the meshviewer, in irrsed, and in visualeditor and can't load any textures neither, at exception of one only model that is able to load textures, how I suppose to load a model in irrlicht if i don't know if is't gonna load the texture or not

[hybrid]

Many downloadable Models do not contain textures and texture coordinates. You'll have to do it on your own. PlanarMapping should work, but most often it won't result in pleasant models.

Thanks for you help.
I'm gonna read some more about import models to irrlicht, I guess the problem is the uv mapping, thanks, you all are really kind.
