Objects not appearing textured

I made and textured an interior of a building in milkshape 3D. However, when I put it in Blitz 3D, only a few of the things appear textured, and most of them are wrong. how do I fix the textures?

building= LoadMesh("P:\project1\building.x")
PositionEntity building,.5,-.5,1.5


That's what I'm using now^^

Sorry don't know milkshape, but try and make sure all your polygons have a maximum of 3 vertices. With some conversion software the texture's UVs get mixed up when the converter itself tripples your polys...

Hope this helps (but I wouldn't bet on it ;)

danny.

Ok, I know all of my polygons have 3 vertecies. Anything else?

I think a lot of people use the ultimate unwrap program to export milkshape stuff to b3d file format.

I don't advise using an absolute path to load your model:
building=LoadMesh("building.x")
..is better than what you have currently, because your path won't work on any other computers.

And make sure your textures are in the same folder as your model.

And try LoadAnimMesh("") instead of LoadMesh("") - even though your building isn't animated.

Is the file format DirectX (.x)?

Yes

So some of the textures do appear, only in a wrong way ? Maybe the UV coordinates are not exported correctly ? Are there any export settings ? Maybe there is a 'generate mapping coordinates' option.
You could start with a simple textured cube, for testing what textures can be exported. Blitz supports .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png and .dds. I don't know if you are using other formats, if so, that could be the issue.

as skid mentioned. use Ultimate Unwrap3d to import/export a .b3d file.

1. make sure all of your textures are in the same directory as your mesh
2. make sure you polygons are facing the right way (the direction a poly is facing is called a 'normal'. if it is flipped, it will appear transparent in blitz.

If you are doing a really simple model in milkshape then I am guessing that what you have done is texture the inside of a cube perhaps? Unless you flip the normals of the polygons then they will not show up.

In milkshape3d there is a setting for each window which is 'show backfaces' - turn this on/off and you may be able to see in milkshape if any of your mesh's triangles are facing the wrong way.
