Adding Text to a model

<< < (2/3) > >>

kreator:
Its a 3ds file all the graphic lettering geometry is embedded into the model, and you have not used the textures as per the model!... still here is the USS Rio Grande with lettering now. I had to generate some more geometry in anim8or then overlay it onto the existing geometry. I have grouped it so if you want to change the colours you can do so.

argo34116:
Fantastic. Thank you, but When I place it in celestia the other side is blank. The model in Anim8or looks good on both sides.

argo34116:
Maybe I left out some textures? There were some that were not in the file I uploaded.Here is the complete texture file

selden:
Since you didn't provide textures with the original model, the model that kreator provided uses no textures.

The text on the port side of the revised runabout model is invisible in Celestia because its normals are reversed, pointing inward instead of outward. Hopefully you've learned how to fix that problem.

kreator:
Updated the runabout with revised lettering should be ok now - see my original upload. What I would suggest is that you don`t keep grabbing these damn .3ds files from other people and learn how to make your own!

   Selden: Argo has not used the textures that came with the model, they have been replaced with anim8or`s basic materials the only thing I have done to the model is add the lettering, and renamed the materials,  so no problems result from conflicting namesterials.
