Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 24 7:34 pm)
Alekssander, if they originate from image file textures, and then have been saved to Vue .mat files, yes, you need to include them with the files. If they are just procedural materials, then you don't have to include anything. If they are Vue 4 materials/VOB's plaes note that when you upload them since Vue 3 and Vue 2 people won't be able to use them. Also, the path matters when saving a texture as a .mat file. So if your textures are in a directory such as: F:/...Vue4/Bitmaps/Alekssander/carpets/texname.jpg, that's where Vue will always look for them. However, it seems as though if you place the textures in the same folder as the .VOB models are in, the path doesn't matter, and Vue finds them. At least, I think that works. What I tend to do is to keep my textures in the same folder as the models, just to make things simpler. But that's just what works for me.

Thanks :) Could someone load it up and try. I wrote a text file that's in the ZIP package. Hope it work.... Or I need a better idea ;)Unable to find: c:programfilerarachnophiliatestingtestingachud1.jpg for CarpetBlue.vob There were others, too, such as acred.gif, acyellow.gif, andacblue.gif, all in the arachnophilia subfolder of "testing", that were missing. Also, those carpets are made up of 4,9997 separate objects. I don't know how other people's computers woud respond, but I couldn't even move them without Vue hanging. I had assumed they were planes or something, with texture maps, but 4,9997 objects for one object seems to be way too much. Vue can handle alot of polygons, but when you start getting more than 300 or so objects it slows way down. It will respond better to a single object with 1,000,000 polygons than it would to 400 objects with 1,000 polygons. It might be OK for 1,5 GHZ PC's but I can't evne use it with my 600 mhz Athlon CPU. Still though, they ARE beautiful, and people with faster CPU's might have no trouble. :)
