You need to change the textures to POW2 resolution (512x512, 1024x1024, etc.) or it HPL2 will go to shit and wreak havoc. Use GIMP or Photoshop (or if you're really that desperate, use Paint.NET) to resize it.

EDIT:
Dammit got ninja'd by Mudbill.

Bros, I totally doubt the problem is the textures' resolution or format. But I'll try.

keyboard_black_p2.dds 512x256
lenovo_texture_p2.dds 1024x512
screen_terminal_p2.dds 1024x512

Dammit man, Mudbill and I told you 512x512 or 1024x1024, not 512x256 or 1024x512!

Also, the resolution and format MUST be correct (pow2 and .dds respectively) to work in HPL2.

take a pill of the chill, people can mistake things.

But yeah, what he said. Just give it a try Amn

RE: What's this model doing? - Daemian - 05-05-2014

No, WIWWM. There's no mistake.

If I go and try another resolution, SomethingRidiculous, it's just to make you happy and prove you that the texture it's not the problem. You should know that already, if you insist on that then I don't think you're qualified to answer this question at all.

I'm not either for the record! i was just kind of regurgitating things that iv'e heard worked before.

Pretty sure you need to freeze your transformations if the laptop is upside down like that in the model viewer Smile

Hey sir. I tried that too (modify>freeze transformations), still that one mesh polySurfaceShape10 refuses to cooperate. No matter what image you put.

3 meshes: laptop, screen and keyboard.

Spoiler below!

I tried an app called AssimpView to open the exported .dae and the texture looks correct there.

ModelView (and ModelView131101)

This is how I make the screen mesh:
1. Double-click on an edge around the screen to get a square selection.
2. Mesh>Fill Hole.
3. I select the face just created.
3. Mesh>Extract.
4. Right-Click > Assign new material > lambert > etc.

I did the same thing for the keyboard and It worked fine.

...You did remember to triangulate it right?

When you took this screenshot, were you trying to actually flip it to make it look alright in HPL2? Cause I noticed the whole model was upside-down at this point in Maya.

If the texture looks weird, it's probably because when you resize the texture files, you'll probably also need to re-map the texture to the model. It will use the same mapping as the old resolution, but that will look odd.
