Import texturized models from 3DWS?

[Epsi]

Is there a quick way to import models created in 3DWS into Leadwerks Editor completely with textures?

 

At the moment I create a texturized Level in 3DWS, then export it in *.gmf format to Models/Props of the Leadwerks Engine directory and select & place it in the Leadwerks Editor - but the textures (3DWS copies them in the directory of the *.gmf file) don't load. Do I have to texturize everything again in the Material Editor/create UV maps/define shaders? It would be enough if the models appear visually like they do in 3DWS' textured view. Maybe there is a quick way - directly out of 3DWS?

I'd suggest using dds textures in 3DWS to start with (saves converting them afterwards) as I think the latest version supports them. Then when you export all you have to do is create mat files for each of them. There are some tools about for creating default mat files from textures in a directory if you want something to speed this process up a bit.

Use Genmat for making mat files of background textures but not for anims.

Thank you for the answers!

 

I've converted my textures to dds, now the 3DWS Texture Browser works smoother.

I'll try the map thing.
