Arteria 3D models not importing correctly

[Imchasinyou]

Ive got a pretty extensive collection of Arteria 3D models. Actually nearly everything they have, I have. Recently, Ive tried to bring in some things to a project yet, when importing the FBX and then textures, the textures will not appear to the models. Ive tried reimporting, setting the textures manually in the model editor and via the appearance tab. Nothing seems to be working for me.

 

Does any one else use Arteria models and have any issues with them? It would be really nice to be able to use the characters and models Ive paid for

I had the same thing since I have access to all their models and textures. Most buildings require severall textures but since these textures are on different locations, leadwerks doesn't where to find them. Opening the model editor after recreating some faulty materials did the trick for me.

I usually copy all textures into the model folder or vice versa, seems to work.

 

Beware all arteria models have BLACK diffuse vertex colors, so you might want to check that out.

(recalc normals in LE Model Editor and save seems to strips these off)

Had similar problem http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10422-obm-models-into-leadwerks/page__hl__obm

 

I import the textures separately as Shadmar describes.

I put everything in same folder, no problems.It would help also if textures had more relevant names

I import all model related things into its own new folders. So, if i have a pack i want to use, i make a new folder and import the models and their textures into that folder. Ill look at the models in the editor and see if they infact have a black diffuse set. Thanks for the replies guys

Are you using their OBM models?

[Dan22]

Make sure you do the calculate normals for the model in leadwerks itself as if you dont do that the texture doesn't show but after it does!

 

 

 

This was done with models from ateria

Hope this Helps!

Thirsty, Im not using their OBM models. At this point, I cant use anything lol.

 

Dan, Ive tried this but the actual model itself does not even appear in the editor.

 

EDIT: Ive managed to fix some things Ive wanted to use so far. Ill keep working on the others and hopefully, i can get the ones I want to use fixed.

I don't use fbx. I load uu3d format model into uu3d and center and scale the model. Then save as mdl.

@Dan22:

 

In your animated gif you show to press "Apply" and after that "OK" again. But this does apply the recalculation two times which can result in a mesh with errors.
