Help for texturing & best export format to export

[m4tricol]

Hi all, I have a few questions:

1) how resize the texture with irrlicht??, my models in 3ds max have a couple of textures they do not have tiling parameters equals to 1 (U:=20,V:=20) but when export the file (.3ds) and utilize that texture with irrlicht, the textures was large and do not have the same tiling parameters (seems that tiling: U=1,V=1).

2) Using 3ds max, what is the best format for exporting:
a) static mesh:
b) Animated mesh

I know that is a long story, but what is the best simplified format that do most of things like storing the texture mapping ecc

Maybe the response of second question solve the first ..

Thanks , Bye

You could use a texture matrix, but it would be better if the 3ds file just worked. Can you post an example mesh online, along with a screenshot of how it should look?

For static meshes I prefer obj (only because I can read them in notepad), but 3ds should work equally as good. For animated bone based meshes you should use B3D (blitz pipeline) or X (panda exporter)

Thanks, I hope that helps..

Same position irrlicht:



Tiling parameters:



It would be great if i don't must set the parameters manually, because the texture isn't only one..

Could you send me the 3ds file? The UV scaling is only read, but not used. I could easily add a texture matrix to cope for this.

Ok, the 3ds loader will be fixed soon. It's already in SVN for 1.4.1, trunk will follow.
