I am trying to import/load an object into VueXStream 2014 from this website:
http://tf3dm.com/3d-models/vehicles
It is one of these free car models. So after i unzip the file to my hard drive...i go into Vue...file/Load...or import...i navigate to where i extracted the file...and then i load the .obj file or the .3ds file...but i get this message and the car loads with no texture...or very strange looking...blank?...
Is it me...or is there something wrong some where?...am i importing things the wrong way?...i thaught that almost all file formats could be loaded into Vue...i am confused.
I am obviously a newbie...so please be understanding!...
Help would be greatly appreciated!...
Thx for stopping by!...

Try to obtain the model you wish in *.obj file format, rather than in the *.3ds format shown in your screen above.
Make sure you are "importing" the model, rather than "loading" it.
Make sure that the associated texture files are located within the same directory as the model. (Texture files and the *.obj model must be together in the same directory.)

and make sure transparency isn't set to 100% which happens sometimes (I get it with exports from 3DS MAX sometimes)

Free models need to be edited first before importing into Vue. Thus the free part.
