Model exporting

To answer your question. Let's say you make a wall. The wall has one texture (image) called "MyWall.dds" where the color information is stored. In order for modelview to create your .mat file the material (of your model) in Maya has to have "MyWall.dds" assigned to the color slot. "MyWall.dds" should also be placed within the folder of the .dae (the exported model).

In case something has gone wrong, delete everything except the .dae and the .dds.

Edit: Also make sure you have triangulated the model. "Mesh --> Triangulate" while having it selected (in maya).

Oh thank you, I'll look into that one. And if I want multiple textures? How do I name them? (I noticed you did this: wall.dea, wall_test.dds, wall_thingey.dds. Is that right?)

THe model viewer is only supposed to create a .msh file ( It's a collision file ) the .mat files are created using materialeditor.exe

Load that up, smack in your textures and then save the .mat file under the same name as your diffuse and under the same directory.

OH WOW. I'm so stupid! xD I finally understand, thank you so much!

Here, have a silly puppy:

EDIT: I'm sorry: thank everyone of you! You've been so helpful and patient!
