hello i have level mesh from stalker (3ds) and i textured it but meshes are only coloured (not textured)...
the same coloured meshes are also in milkshape 3d
why?

thanks

May be you did not export your 3ds right, it probably does not include texture.

You may also look at this post for some useful info: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... highlight=

have you checked your uv map?

Are the textures actually loaded by irrlicht? What does the console output say when you load the model?

load is all right (some textures are not loaded but meshes on the screenshot are textured)

uv map? sorry but what is it?

error is evidently in mesh... but i am only coder

Each vertex have its coordinate in texture space. Since texture have 2 dimensions there are two coordinates for each vertex and they are called U and V ...they are equivalents of X and Y. Set of such coordinates for every vetrex of your model is called UV map.

UV coordinates are written as floats. UV(0,0) is in upper left corner of texture (that is origin of texture) and UV(1,1) is bottom right corner of texture.

UV map is used to display texture on you model.
