only one texture

[omar shaaban]

i have made my level that contains many models and many textures i have grouped my model so to import it into irrlicht as one model but i have a problem with the textures is there a way to make only on texture for this model not all these textures or a way to combine them to one texture?

[omar shaaban]

i dont know why i dont get any replies here quikly!!!
will any help?

Unless your entire scene is pretty small, that would be a bad idea. I would suggest you create seperate models for each object and then use IrrEdit to build up a scene.

People can take time to reply due to different time zones etc

It's a modelling question really i suppose, it may depend on the program you're modelling with as to how to set it as one texture. In Milkshape you could do it but it would require remapping the whole level rather than just sticking all the images into one file.

What's the problem with Irrlicht and textures, is it not loading the textures? Can't find them? Or are they not displaying correctly?

for .x or .ms3d format, they points to all their textures, so if you store your N textures where the model file can find, irrlicht will load them

also you dont need to load a texture and apply to it manually

If you're using 3DSMax (or maybe some other progs, too) you can bake all the textures into one single texture, but this way you will loose much graphics quality !!!

It's just a question of texture (UV) mapping. You can always do it, but it's not always that useful or even possible due to material properties etc.
