Ues nice one.


Do someone tried to direct convert 3d studio obj files and can perhaps help with export settings?
So i could avoid the extra blender steps if I create my stuff in 3d studio max.?

Just little "add"
when you are exporting OBJ from Blender you must have checked "Include UVs"
Filipsons know about it .... he just forgot to show it in video

I habe over 30 here.  But that is not the point.  If i create stuff i often have a look ingame.  I convert my models again and again.  Every 30 minuts and have a look ingame to see if it fits good. So the additional step with blender slows down the prozess.  3d studio has an obj exporter with many settings.  But i did not find the right once till now.  Or pehaps the tool is simple not able to work with this kind of obj.

For wmos i get it. Perfect to work from 3ds as you can see in my latest maruum images.

Having a bit of trouble getting this tool to convert a model with multiple textures. The .mtl and .obj files are fine and looking at it in hex yields everything looking fine, but it seems like I can't get it to recognize that there are multiple submeshes to assign those textures to. Any ideas?

So..
What we Know
in OBJ structure (texteditor) is texture written as "USEMTL_TextureName"

When you have model (OBJ) With more then 1. Mesh as this

Create Simple texture for every Mesh and Name dat texture as your BLP

-

Then save to OBJ and export to M2
All textures will be loaded from your path that you set in converting

-

If you want to at all change Path of individual textures for model you have to do it in 010 Editor
