Blender + Irrlicht = Going CRAZY 2

[koto]

Hi.

I do following steps:

1. Start Blender, it creates a default cube.
2. Export the scene to 3ds or x format.
3. Run IrrEdit, import the newly created 3ds or x file.
4. Go to 'Materials' tab and double click one of the textures shipped with the IrrEdit, e.g. default_texture.png

The texture is not applied!. Insted of that, the mesh has brown solid color.
When I add a cube from the toolbox I can set any texture I want.

Is there anything wrong with my approach?

I've testet it on IrrEdit 1.4.1 and 1.4.2

You need texture coords for proper texturing. Probably your default cube doesn't have them.

You need to make sure the cube is properly UV mapped. That or use the linear mapping modifier option in irredit.

Hi guys, thanks for responses.

I'd like to try 'linear mapping modifier' but I can't find it in irredit

The second sceniario is I apply a texture to a cube in blender it renders there correctly, but in the irredit texture is not visible. The file with texture is loaded by irredit (I know it from the Message Log window).

Just applying a texture in blender is not enough. You need to export proper UV coords along with the mesh, which requires you to bake those coords to the mesh - within blender.

Go into edit mode select all of your cube's vertices then hit "shift-E"
(I think that's the hot key) to bring up the edge specials menu, choose
"mark seem" then hit "U" choose unwrap, and it will have UV's.

Finally I made it!, the hot key is actually Ctrl+E.

Thanks all of you, especially 3DModelerMan.

No problem .
You see why I'm called 3DModelerMan, and not 3DProgrammerMan.
