Shape yes, images no ???

by Scott Peal · in Artist Corner · 07/17/2005 (9:17 pm) · 3 replies

Got a DTS shape to show in the tool, but the image is not showing up. WHen I look at the material list, the image is there. How do you get the image to show on the actual object?

It is a *.jpg type image

The object does have the texture showing. I am using Maya and following along with the basic tutorial for the Maya2Dts.

Thanks for any help,

Brian Peal

Do you have the correct rendering mode selected in showtool pro?
There are a couple of drop down boxes at the top, the first one probably says "Perspective". Look at the next one, if it doesn't already say "Texture Shaded Solid" change it to that.

Greetings!

Is your image a power of two? ie: 256x256 or 256x128. The Materials window will show your image regardless of its dimensions. However, for DTS objects, all images must be a power of two.

Your guys are brilliant and I feel like a doop for forgeting that little detail. After converting the image to a factor of 2, all is fine.

Thanks for the help. Hope I can return it one day!
