The above render is: One Bryce Cube (on the left) One Obj Cube from Wings (on the right) Both have the identical material and settings applied (see below). Why doesn't the material apply on the Obj.

Set it to "Object Cubic" instead of "Parametric". This seems to fix it for me (works on non-cubic objects too).


bandolin ( ) posted Mon, 30 May 2005 at 10:05 AM

Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks shinyary2. I wonder why that is?

No clue.

You will run into this with most imported objects, unless they are UV mapped. If you UV map a Wings made cube and then import it into Bryce, it will accept parametric mapped textures just like a native Bryce cube primitive.

Parametric is there for use of UV maps on meshes, maybe wings exports objects strangely when it comes to UV's (or lack of UV's).

Hmmm... that could serve to explain why Wings objects are imported into Bryce solid white...

Where a rectangular object refuses to texture correctly on all sides using parametric. Take it into UV Mapper Classic, or Pro and give it cubic mapping. Save it back out. You do not need to save the map if you are using Bryce textures instead of painted ones. Now import it into Bryce an apply your procedural textures in Parametric mode and they will tile perfectly on all sides.

Shinyary2: Try giving an object's polys a material in Wings, then give it diffuse and ambient colors before exporting. It may still be bright, but it will be the color you set in Wings.

tjohn: Thanks, but I'm not entirely sure that's really necessary. After all, the colors/diffuse/ambient are set in Bryce, so I can just change those directly in Bryce. Unless of course I need to get the uvmapped textures from Wings to Bryce. That would be a whole different story. Although Bryce doesn't import the textures with the model; I've already tried imported a uvmapped model from Wings to Bryce and still bright white, no textures.


decadence ( ) posted Wed, 01 June 2005 at 12:03 PM

I found I had to run the obj through the uv mapper to get the texture to turn up in bryce. However I also noticed some differences in ambience that drove me nuts. Once you uv mapped the obj you may have to play around with the ambience and other controls to achieve the same result. Wings is a bit wierd in that respect.
