Bug  Problem with my export COLLADA?!

Hey guys

Im new to modeling with maya, but i do model fine..

The problem is:

When i export with openCOLLADA (Export all) i get the DAE file, i open it up in model editor (i got a texture, using file), and when i load the model (it`s a wall model), it is a cube, with a pink texture, which got small pictures of arrow, and stuff from amnesia.. what did i do wrong.. if someone can help me over skype, i would appreciate it, otherwise i need advice!

RE: Problem with my export COLLADA?!

Be sure to load the model in the Model Viewer before the Model Editor. This is important so that it can generate a .msh and .mat file for the model.

For the glitchy texture, the problem is the file type you're using. Avoid using .pngs, .jpgs and especially .gifs. I recommend you convert them to .tga or .dds.

As for the model, try deleting the .msh file, then reloading the model in the Model Viewer. At least for me, I am required to do this half of the time or else the model remains the size of the original primitive I used to create it (usually a cube).

Did you apply your texture to the material in maya?

RE: Problem with my export COLLADA?!

Be sure to check that:
- Your texture is pow^2 (256x256 or 512x512 or 1024x1024 pixels)
- Preferrably saved in dxt format (this runs better)
- It has the same name as the texture in maya


Since it is pink your error is most likely caused by a pow^2 error. Be sure to check your modelview.log for errors in the future.

Glad you solved the problem Smile, I know how tedious and annoying it can be exporting stuff to HPL2 without getting errors...

RE: Problem with my export COLLADA?!

I had a lot of trouble in the beginning, but once I got the hang of it and all settings pre-defined, it's quite the breeze now Smile

Good luck with your models!
