Hi Icloner`s,

maybe this has been discussed before, but I have an .fbx file that I am trying to import. The structure (mesh?) imports fine low poly 10.000 polies, but there is no material. Now the .fbx file comes with 200MB size, so they seem to be packed in there, but somehow it does not import into 3dxchange. When I click on them they appear without diffuse map, without bump specular ....

Anyone knows, what that may be, assuming the export settings from 3Ds-Max which is the software I am using ?

Thanks

Steffen

Check in the texture/material section of 3DX that the strength slider is not at zero. I often have materials come in with strength set to low, or opacity set at zero. It is a bit surprising when you get a white or invisible object/avatar on import!

If that is not the answer, double click each texture channel box and reload the texture. The model should have all its UV's, so that will work fine.

Thanks Rampa, for coming back so quickly. I just have one file to import the model the .fbx. There is nothing I can import extra....

i checked the materials, by selecting them. All Diffuse, Opacity .... squares are greyed out with a Attention sign in there. Opacity is set to max for all materials. Seems that it really not getting it.

I asked the guy who built the models to export and embed them with ASCII and FBX 2012. Maybe that does the trick. 

If someone has more ideas : I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Steffen

If you haven't done so, you could try to view the FBX file using the viewer option from Autodesk FBX converter to see if the materials show up. This also allows conversion to other FBX formats.

This is the link to the latest version of the converter: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=22694909.

Usually an FBX model has the actual .FBX file with the mesh and the a .FBM directory that contains the textures. If the directory isn't there, it's usually created the first time the main FBX file is loaded. The large file that you have needs to be unpacked and that doesn't seem to work. Do you have a .FMB folder after loading the object in 3DXchange? That's where the textures will be.

ah well no. I just have the .fbx file no seperate folders. That maybe the trick...

I updated 3dxP and had not used it until now. I used it to import about 30 fbx models and have discovered the same problem. No Textures imported but they are shown and I can add them manually ok from the unpacked zip dir. I have never had this problem before but now since the update I do. So is this a bug on some systems only? like IC 6.5 was?
