Model Textures not Displaying ... [Solved]

krama757 · Post by **krama757** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 9:13 am

For some odd reason none of my models show textures in the Irrlicht versions past 1.1. Here is proof that I'm not doing anything dumb

In the meshviewer:
Irrlicht 0.12:

Irrlicht 1.1 onwards:

The console states that it loaded the texture, but doesnt display it....

Code: Select all

Please select the driver you want for this example:
 (a) Direct3D 9.0c
 (b) Direct3D 8.1
 (c) OpenGL 1.5
 (d) Software Renderer
 (e) Apfelbaum Software Renderer
 (f) NullDevice
 (otherKey) exit

a
Irrlicht Engine version 1.1
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Using renderer: Direct3D 9.0

From memory there were some lighting changes,

make sure it's not just the fact that the mesh is not lit, therefor completely black

Yeah! For me it looks like you used ambient light. Did you notice that the ambient light trigger has chanced its position to an other interface?

Well, even with lighting disabled the models look like that.

The pictures above are from the meshviewer...which doenst include any lighting of any sort.

Here are some relevant bits of code that I used in my application:

Code: Select all

//Describes the light type
ILightSceneNode* light1 = irrSceneMan->addLightSceneNode(0, core::vector3df(0,300,0), video::SColorf(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f), 10000.0);


//Later I load the models
pObjectNode[placedObject]->setVisible(true);
			pObjectNode[placedObject]->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING, false);
			pObjectNode[placedObject]->setMaterialFlag(EMF_NORMALIZE_NORMALS, true);

And the objects look like this:

I cant figure out how come the .X model (character) is properly lit and has textures and the other models are not.

even with lighting disabled the mesh might it not be lit based on the EmissiveColor of the materials.

x meshes, I think set the EmissiveColor to 50% (I'm not sure it does this with all meshes)

Hmm, seems like it was a combination of emissive and ambient color.

I imported into irredit and fiddled around till I found a combination that worked.

Thanks a lot for the help.
