Cannot load textures in 3d models with jit.gl.model

Hi there,

the simplest thing is to say to the company that you'll be working with that they need to export all models in the .dae format.
I just checked a few links with what you posted, you can download them in multiple file formats, try downloading them as .dae files and see if that works.
When this model type is loaded into max then all textures and UV maps are opened automatically.

If that isn't an option then you can get the jit.gl.model @matrix_output 1
This will output all the matrixes with regards to vertex array , uv array etc.. (12 planes if I'm correct)
You can then combine this with jit.gl.texture to retexture your models.
A little bit of work with jit.unpack and jit.pack will be required (though jit.gen is far more efficient using swiz and vec to unpack the planes)
If you've got any example files then just post them and I'll see if I can help you out.

Also: the obj and dae model examples from the links you send don't have the textures applied to them. You can check in Blender or C4D.
When you open the right textured model in Blender or C4D, and you export them as dae and you will see the texture.
But even then "material_mode 3" on the jit.gl.model works best to see the textures correctly.

Ok...With Dae textures are inside or are image files?

However, many models (as Table and Touareg) that I link have textures...Even in Dae o Max3D format textures are not load...I don't understand why...It's an error of the model export itself? It's an error from me?

Do you have some link of Dae that works well downloadable (more than Seymour.dae)?

Just make a simple model in blender with UV unwrapping using a texture.
Save the textures.
Then export the model with "include UV textures" checked.
When the model is exported all necessary files will be exported along with the model into the folder.
With me this works flawlessly.
This should show you that dae import with textures works.

Ok, but I need to understand with them how Cinema4d can export it... They don't use Blender...Do you have an example downloadable?

As many models from that site that I linked before are written with textures but no one load it, even dae or max3d...and most of tgem are made with cinema4d

Try using jit.gl.texture with the texture image. If a model has a uv wrap it should work fine.

Thank you very much to all...So, just to see of I understood correctly...

Do you have suggestions about exporting from Cinema4D?

For now I told them to try:
.Export dae with UVMapping and Baked Textures.
Other suggestions that I can gave them?

They sent me before an .obj that works good but no textures (I think C4D just export .obj without .mtl neither textures pics), so I wait for the .dae.

I'm also curios if TouchDesigner and VVVV are so difficult about importing textured models...Do you have experience wuth those softwares?

Well I've never used cinema 4d. Regardless max is fully capable of loading the object formats you requested.
Please make a zip file with an example model and texture then upload it.
It'll be far quicker that way.

Hi, sorry I was confused with materials in my first answer. With textures it works like ANDRO says. I exported your first example model from C4D to dae 1.4 and the textures load in one go!
