.obj file textures

Troubleshooting import-assets
1

I’ve had the same problem with JME3 for almost a year now. I cant seem to install ogreXML for blender even using the JME3 plugin so i’ve given up on that. I am trying to load .obj objects and set their textures directly using java code (this will suit my purpose better anyways). I would like to kno if this is possible at all and if not, what model format do i have to use in order to set textures.



here is a sample code of my most recent failed attempt:



Material mat_default = new Material(

assetManager, “Common/MatDefs/Misc/ShowNormals.j3md”);

mat_default.setTexture(“m_Color”, assetManager.loadTexture(“Textures/Sports_equipment/soccerFootball.jpg”));



this is part of the error I get:



Material parameter is not defined: m_Color.



Please i could really use some help on this and it will be greatly appreciated

try



[java]

mat_default.setTexture("ColorMap", texture);

[/java]



where texture is the Texture resource that you get from loadTexture.

your material definition ShowNormals is for debugging and has no parameters.



instead of

“Common/MatDefs/Misc/ShowNormals.j3md”

try using this for unlit material

“Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md”

and assign your texture to the “ColorMap” parameter

or for a properly lit material

“Common/MatDefs/Light/Lighting.j3md”

and assign your texture to the “DiffuseMap” parameter



e.g.

[java]

Material mat_default = new Material(

assetManager, “Common/MatDefs/Misc/Unshaded.j3md”);

mat_default.setTexture(“ColorMap”, assetManager.loadTexture(“Textures/Sports_equipment/soccerFootball.jpg”));

[/java]
