My 3DS Model is White

[MrBigBrain]

Hello, when I load a 3D Model with .3ds format and display it on the scree, the model is totally White.
Heres my Code:

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode *weapon = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( smgr->getMesh("C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Admin/Desktop/irrlicht/irrlicht-0.14.0/media/famas.3ds"));
	weapon->setParent(camera);
	weapon->setPosition(core::vector3df(72,-100,110));
	

	weapon->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING,false));

The other code is exactly theone from the Terrain Tutorial.

Sorry for my bad English I`m from Germany.

Be sure all needed textures are in the same folder as the 3ds file !!!

[killzone721]

doesn't necessary have to be in the 3ds, but it has to be a graphic file representing the 3ds model.

Just make sure to have a graphic file with and if it does, i don't see u calling it

ex.

weapon1->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture ("models/moreweapons/lazer.jpg"));


//this is just an example but use the code for your grahics/texture file

HOPE IT HELPS

Right, you can also do it this way...

But if the graphics are all inside the same folder as the 3ds file they will be loaded automatically...

Also, it is a good idea to use a relative path instead of an absolute path.
Instead of doing:

Code: Select all

getMesh("C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Admin/Desktop/irrlicht/irrlicht-0.14.0/media/famas.3ds"));

do something like:

Code: Select all

getMesh("../media/famas.3ds"));

so your *.exe looks for the files relative to where it is.

Well, I forgot that getTexture only works with one texture file...
If your mesh uses more than one texture file you can't use getTexture !!!
Well, you can but it messes up the texture on the mesh...

So, the best way is to be sure all files are in the same folder !!!
