hello i have a problem loading a model that i have made it in 3d studio max 9, the model is a human all with texture, but when i put it in the content pipeline and try to run or compile the program the compiler send me this error
Error 2 BasicMaterial has a texture, but geometry does not contain texture coordinates. E:\my games\prueba01\prueba01\enzo.X prueba01
What i need to do to correct this how do i put texture to a geometry what does it mean
You need to assign a set of UVs to your mesh so the texture can be applied. If you have assigned UVs in Max, you need to see whay your exporter is not including them in the X file.
Just to make sure we are on the same page, you open the UV editor in Max and see the unwraped wireframe mesh, correct
If that the case, open up your .x file in the Direct 3D viewer application that comes with the DirectX SDK (nder utilities) and see if it will show you the UVs. Or, if the x file is in the ascii format, open it up in a text editor and look for this section:
MeshTextureCoords {
13;
0.8085998;1.237794,
1.152267;0.8330591,
0.8741654;0.8591328,
...
}
I don't know the particulars of Max 9 or the X exporter you are using so I can't be of much help. It maybe there's some flag you need to specify on the exporter to export your UVs or it may be something silly like the exporter expecting your UV set to have a particular name.
If you have Maya 8.5 you can try using Maya's built in .fbx exporter instead.
Or, if you really want to use X, have a look at the Direct X SDK. There is source code for previous versions of X exporter for both Maya and Max. You can probably build them for current versions of Maya and Max without much effort.
