I have been having some problems trying to identify individual faces of a model I created within UU3D, to update the sides of a cube programmitically within B3D.
I suspected that my file maybe was not being saved/exported properly from UU3D. I used the following code to analyse my .b3d file, the only child entities returned were:
ROOT_UU3D
The file in question has had individual groups assigned to each side on the model within B3D, i.e. under the Groups expander I have Box, front, back, side1, side2, top and bottom.
[LAST...EDIT] solved now.... big thankyou to Ross for his help - see post #9 scroll down a bit to see the cuboids with various (albeit unimaginative) images applied via code.
[EDIT] - resolved this......:Why can't I see these as child entities using the code below and I only see ROOT_UU3D ?
[EDIT] seem to have resolved it by saving as B3D extension with multiple textures option selected. I now am getting the child entities.
How can I apply an image to one of the child entities identified upon loading - thanks.
, trying to use the following somehow:
This may depend on your model - and how you designed each face and named them.
You can 'face=FindChild(entity,"face name")' - then texture each face.
