Tiling a texture

[Frobaz]

I load an object created with a 3d editor. In the editor, I have the texture tiled across the object so it isnt stretched out. After that, I exported it to .3ds but when I load the image into my game, the texture is stretched out. How do I keep the texture mapping created when I made the object?

I'd suggest exporting to .X
It retains it's texture coordinates.

I had tried that but I couldnt get it working right. Ill try a different method this time. Thanks for the help.

What are you using to model?

You need to add a UVW map modifier to your objects in order to tile the texture so it exports with a 3ds file. Easy to do in 3Dsmax, not sure how with anything else.

could you set me right a bit? Is it possible to import a mesh to irrlicht, but not textered, and then call a irrlicht function for setting a material (setMaterialTexture()) and it will set the texture to the coordinates that had been set on a model in the 3d modeling program? can I do that somehow?

I have the opposite problem, the .x file i've created myself manually tiles textures when i don't want them tiled... any ideas on that?

Maybe you could post your code?

i use anim8tor and uvMapper both freeware
u need to export as wavefront obj from the modeller
imprt obj file in uvMapper
chose a texture map type (like box)
u may like to rearange the objects -or not
save the map
SAVE THE MODEL!!!
import the resaved model in the modeller
export as .3ds
paint the map
....irrlicht part *phew*

Code: Select all

 
	scene::IAnimatedMesh* mesh0 = smgr->getMesh(
		"../media/model.3ds");

	smgr->getMeshManipulator()->makePlanarTextureMapping(
		mesh0->getMesh(0), 0.008f);

	scene::ISceneNode* nodePt = 0;

	nodePt = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh0);
	nodePt->setMaterialTexture(0,	driver->getTexture("../media/modelTexmap.bmp"));

It worked. I was using anim8r to make it but I was just having some problems with some settings.

if you managed to keep the texture tiled after importing it in irrlicht, plz post the way cause i have the same problem.
