I have been playing with the obj2jme and tried to load a obj model. I have loaded the model but I cant see any textures with the model.
I have tried other models which dont have any texture, and they load OK, but when they have a texture, the texture doesnt load.
I have also tried 3ds model as well but it seems that there is a problem with loading textures. Does anybody know what is the problem.

I think you need to load the texture manually using a TextureState.

Did you specify the material library setting? obj files are split into two parts. Do you get any warnings loading it? Send your jme to XML and print it out. Where is it looking for texture files from?
I set the material library settings as in the tutorial. I used almost the same code for testing.

Will email you code and the model in a few minutes.

emailed the code now.

You can also convert it into jmeās format, load it with my editer, add the texture, and then save it to the final file. If you want to add additional files right click select add, on the tree,select Spiral then Mesh. Then answer NO to the question.
To add a Texture right click on a spiral select TextureState form the state add list. Then you Right click on the TextureState and select add texture.
I donāt believe .tif is supported with jME. That may explain why you canāt see the texture? At least, Image loading of .tif files returns null for me in TextureManager.

Thx, I'll have a play with it and see if I can load my model into it.

This may sound simplistic, but will it work if I convert the images to .jpg or .gif?

I tried and it does. But you see lines in the texture because itās not square so youād have to square it when you save. And the material state in the file is very dark so you have to change that. But it works.
I converted the file and loaded it but couldnt see the texture. I must be doing something wrong :? What changes did you make?

Try turning off lights and youāll see it. Inside the mtl file you have
Ka 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Kd 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Ks 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Ns 0.000000
So it creates a material state with no ambient,diffuse, specular color at all. Thatās why you canāt see it with lights. You should just remove that from the file.
Cep21,
I have tried this:
newmtl hum_body
illum 4
Ka 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Kd 0.913725 0.866667 0.800000
Ks 0.913725 0.866667 0.800000
Ns 0.000000
map_Kd newbird.jpg
as well as:
newmtl hum_body
illum 4
map_Kd newbird.jpg
I have even added a point light to the scene. Still no luck. I see the bird as grey as it ever was. No idea whats happening.

Thx, I have tried to use the editer, but it doesnt run. Seems the jar is missing some files (!)

For me it seems as the .obj - loader doesnāt load itās textures from where i expect it to.
Lets assume i have an .obj in /home/xxx/projects/myJmeTest/resources with corresponding .mtl and .jpg files where the .mtl file references the .jpg file with only filename and not a path (i think this is common usage and means that the .jpg is in the same directory as the .mtl).
If i use the example from cep21ās famous starter guide then the texture (.jpg) is not found because it is not searched in /home/xxx/projects/myJmeTest/resources but in /home/xxx/projects by default which is the base-directory the classloader uses.
If i give myJmeTest/resources/???.jpg in the .mtl then the .jpg is found and the loader works like a charm.
iām on linux btw

The loader works on InputStream, not File or URL or String. Streams have no idea of where they come from. Because of this, users have the option of specifying a texture URL with the loader. .jme files have no idea they came from .obj files. This makes it more customizable. I was able to load tomcatās obj file with my own code.
Want to load texture? Just specify a texture directory.
Texture isnāt loading? Just look at the XML and see where itās looking for the texture.
Ok, but how do i specify the texture directory ?
The only way i found was in the .mtl - file
( or putting the texture file where the loader looks for it)
and that would mean one cannot use .mtl - files as they are but has to edit them.
Maybe iām overlooking someting here but if not then a property for the texture directory besides the one for the .mtl file would be fine ( or defaulting to the same place the .mtl file is)
If you could include a texture into the .obj example (maggie) from the starter guide then things should become clear for me.
Look at the example for loading ms3d files or md2 files, and look at the javadoc for setProperty of JmeBinaryReader
Sorry canāt verify this here at work.
Do i understand this right as:
Ignore the ātexture file not foundā when converting .obj and .mtl to .jme
and only when loading the resulting .jme binary file, set the texture-dir property for the JmeBinaryReader ?
sorry for my bad english btw.
You should get no texture file not found converting from .obj to .jme
Set a texture directory when loading .jme
Ok i have peharps found where is my problem but i donāt know if itās my fault (i donāt use jme has it must be used or if itās due to a jme bug so please be patient with me 
iām a newbie with jme)
if i change this in AseToJme.java
public void setTexture(Texture t) {
if (texture.length==0) texture=new Texture[1];
texture[0] = t;
}
become :
in public void setTexture(Texture t) {
if (texture == null || texture.length==0) texture=new Texture[1];
texture[0] = t;
}
i can convert ase with no problem
if in TextureState.java i changed the method like that :
/**
*
* <code>setTexture</code> sets a single texture to the first
* texture unit.
* @param texture the texture to set.
*/
public void setTexture(Texture texture) {
if (this.texture != null) {
this.texture[0] = texture;
} else {
this.texture = new Texture[1];
this.texture[0] = texture;
}
resetFirstLast();
}
/**
*
* <code>getTexture</code> gets the texture that is assigned to the
* first texture unit.
* @return the texture in the first texture unit.
*/
public Texture getTexture() {
if (texture != null) {
return texture[0];
} else {
return null;
}
}
[/code}
and i can convert 3ds with texture and obj with texture with no more problem.
Iām quite lost, donāt know jme enough to see if itās my fault or a bug
thanks for help,
