Whipping up meshes in meta then exporting as .cob for use in bryce. Now , if I put a pic tex on it bryce goes to a default of parametric mapping. This doesn't work and I end up using object side or object front.
I assume this is something to do with the mesh rather than bryce.
Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?
thanks

I assume that the meshes you're making have no UV mapping, which is why Bryce uses the default. If Metasequoia can't generate mapping, can you export as OBJ and map in an external application - UVMapper would be the obvious choice?

Thanks Bob.
I think thats what I'm asking - does meta generate UVs.

I'm not an expert on Metasequoia or Bryce - but as far as I know the COB format can incorporate UV mapping. The question is whether it's Meta's export, or Bryce's COB import which is to blame.

Compose is a small Java app which, among other useful things, converts between COB and OBJ. If you were to convert one of your COBs to OBJ, then look at it in UVMapper, that would soon tell you whether Metasequoia had included UVs.

Just put it through crossroads to convert it and into UV mapper and lo and behold.......Just got to  figure out mapper now! I wonder if theres an app to convert 1p into a £!
thanks
