Wings 3D
I'm having some problems importing objs from Wings 3D. They are coming in white with black outlines. I searched the forums and found that this is a common problem. But I can't find the cause. I have the mtl and obj in the same directory, but I have copied them over from a different computer. Is this my problem? I also thought it might be that I'm not assigning materials correctly. Does "vertex color" color the obj or is that just a display setting within wings 3d? I tried designating materials, but they still came in white. Any ideas? Thanks!
I think you always have a .mtl, but it will be the default with no image (won't show any color in Anime Studio) unless you create your own materials. Right click with no part of the model selected and the contextual menu will allow you to add a material.
For a basic color without UV mapping, I just had to import an image (a small bmp of the color I wanted) And then it appeared in the outliner window. Then I dragged the image up to the material I had created earlier. That prompts you to select a texture option, but I could only get the image to show using "bump normal." After that when you edit your material, you can see that it's linked to the image file. Or if you open the mtl in notepad, you can see the link. You can also edit it there, if you know what you want to change it to.
I haven't done any UV mapping. My understanding is that in the past you needed another program, but now there's a beta version of Wings that has integrated UV mapping?
But I'm a total noobie to Wings. The manual has some info on Outliner and UV Mapping in section 6, but it's not all that comprehensive: http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http% ... 3Fdownload
