Model is plain black when in game.(3do)

Post by Pithikos »

I scaled a model(.3do) and saved into the same format with the an other name via Upspring(running Wine). When then I start the game the unit is scaled like I did but totally black! Shouldn't the textures also be saved in the model itself like the original did? :?

I believe that you need to be using 3dobuilder and not upspring for that.

It could possibly be an issue with normals, try recalculating normals.

Having said that Upspring forgets s3o texture locations, so it may still be that, and if you insist on messing with 3do's; 3do builder (2.02 not 2.1 imo) is the best tool for the job.
