Avatar Texture Problem

[dthomas]

Hi,
I'm using 3DSMax2012 to export 3 avatars from an avatar library into Cal3D. I had little trouble animating them and exporting the first (a single mesh model), but the other 2 don't show textures.

I tried applying the texture in vizard, but I don't know how to get the hair mesh texture to work (the body texture just applies a duplicate of itself to the hair also).

I couldn't find how to deal with meshes with several textures, or how to export "Multi/Sub-Object" materials. How do I export these into Cal3d format?

It might have been that the mesh had the same name as the skeleton (aside from the .cmf extension). After adding [0] and [1] to the materials I enabled fliptexture in the .cfg and everything seemed to export ok.

Hi,

May I ask you which avatar library are you using ?

Hi,

In any case if this thread is open then please let me know that is there any method available to get nodes from CAL3D avatar?

I want to apply shaders & texture to individual nodes of CAL3D Avatar. To get those nodes I wrote the following code.


import viz
import vizact

viz.setMultiSample(4)
viz.fov(60)
viz.go()

female = viz.addAvatar('vcc_female.cfg')
female.setPosition([0,0,3])
female.setEuler([180,0,0])
female.state(12)

print 'Model contains the following scene graph nodes:'
for name in female.getNodeNames():
print ' ',name


and I am getting this output
Model contains the following scene graph nodes:
casual01_f_highpoly.CMFX
casual01_f_highpoly01.CMFX

I am not able to get the subnodes which I use to get in OSGB models.

You can specify the mesh name as the optional node parameter when applying the texture/shader. For example:
female.texture(tex,node='casual01_f_highpoly.CMFX' )
