Hi, Dennis. <br /> <br /> Just downloaded a few of the car models from the site you got the Hot-Rod from (lwo models) I have loaded them into Anim8or and they load fine. Save them as obj and I loose the colours when loaded into Poser. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_wall.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I get the material groups and/or textures. Or do I need to regroup the areas in Anim8or and name them again? <br /> <br /> Thanks in advance, <br /> <br /> Ozy.

Hi Den, <br /> <br /> I got an email that said there was a reply here, but when I come here there is nothing... <br /> <br /> I'm confused, but then it doesn't take much to do that. <br /> <br /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_doh.gif" alt="" />

Hi, my name´s not den, <br /> but maybe a small application, called getlwtex may solve the problem. it´s at Anthony Appleyard´s page <br /> <br /> <a class="post-url" href="http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/3d/3d.htm" target="_blank">http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/3d/3d.htm</a> <br /> <br /> its at the bottom of the page... <br /> <br /> so long

Den... Den.. Where's Den <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> !

Thanks Ahjah, I'll give it a try.

Worked like a dream. Had to flip some of the normals, but otherwise perfect. <br /> <br /> I had most of Anthony's stuff, but not this one. <br /> <br /> Thanks again, Ahjah.

Again with my posting on old stuff, heh. But here goes... <br /> <br /> Just another way to try it: <br /> <br /> When I'm a creating a model in Anim8or I assign my material sections to basic colors (not worrying about what colors I'm actually going to want them in Poser). <br /> <br /> 1) After my material sections are set I choose Select>By Material <br /> At the prompt I select what Material I want <br /> <br /> 2) Then I click Edit>Detach Faces. <br /> I do this one by one until it's been done for all my materials. <br /> <br /> 3) Now make sure all of the individual sections are appropriately named. <br /> <br /> 4) Then I select all of the parts/detached materials sections for the model and export it to .OBJ format. <br /> <br /> From there I take it into the great lil freebie UVMapper. <br /> <br /> 1) Now load up your model, and click Edit>Tile>by Group. <br /> At the prompt check the resize groups box and click OK. <br /> This will lay everything out for you (and make more sense of what might have looked like a mess when you first loaded your model). <br /> <br /> 2) Next click Edit>Select>by Group (this is where the individual section names come into play) <br /> At the prompt choose which item you want to assign a material to first. <br /> <br /> 3) Next click Edit>Assign>to Material <br /> At the prompt type in a material name, no spaces, no funky characters/symbols. <br /> It will alert you there is no such Material and would you like to create it click Yes. <br /> <br /> Here comes the repetitive part if you have a lot of sections... Go thru and repeat the steps 2-3 in UVMapper until all of your groups have been assign a material. <br /> <br /> 4) Click Edit>Color>by Material (this will colorize each material section for easier texturing later.) <br /> <br /> 5) Click File>Save Texture Map and save your texture map to where ever you like <br /> <br /> 6) Click File>Save Model <br /> At the prompt leave selection at default and click OK, navigate to where ever you want to save your file then click Save. <br /> <br /> Ta-Da! Now your file should be fine to import into Poser and from there you can assign it color overlays, highlights, textures, etc. <br /> <br /> I really hope this is of help to someone one! Anim8or is a great program I'm happy to promote and help with if I can. If you have any question please feel free to email me. Now that I'm thinking about it I might write a full tutorial with screenshots for this (if it is of use). <br /> <br /> Thanks and take care <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />

Once I have the tutorial completed and ready to go how would you like it? I'll post it on my site of course and I could just link it here if you like? Or I could just make a forum post with all the info and link to the screenshots I'll include? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />

Whatever is the easiest for you is probably the best. <br /> To us, either method is acceptable.

If you have it on you site a link it's enough, I want to start a little tutorial section in our diary... Thank you in advance... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for that. Any tutorials are welcome <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
