Hi I am new here and I am trying to import models from Blender, I'm using obj and when I import them the are black. This happens when using jme to so I think it has something to do with blender.
Thanks

Hi, Dori. Welcome to Xith3D.

As far as I know, Blender doesn't export to OBJ with Textures. Please try another format. Or maybe I am wrong. Please have a look at the .mtl file. Is the texture listed there?

I found this or blender.org. Scoll down to obj importer/exporter. Maybe this one does it better.

[Dori]

Thanks I will look at it

[Marvin Fröhlich]

The latest version of Blender (2.4.2a) has improved out-of-the-box support for obj export. It seems to be able to export textures as well.

Hi Dori, and welcome to Xith3D('s boards) !

I use successfully Blender3D -> Wavefront OBJ -> Xith3D in my game, please report any further problems/suggestions.

when I export from this obj exporter the items are now white and also with this
http://www.quake3bits.com/htm/tools_utilities.htm ASE exporter, I'm using blender from Ubuntu repos.
What I do is use the default box that opens wen blender open, then apply textures or color then export it. Using both ase and obj format the models are now white in both xith3d and jme. What am I doing wrong.?

What are you doing wrong ? Easy.
In Blender, you have several ways to apply textures.
By default you have no UV coordinates.
Attached are instructions to have OBJ-Blender-Xith3D winning triplet working correctly

Great thanks very much! That is exactly the tutorial I was looking for.

@Dori: btw: Do you plan to use Xith3D or jME?

I want to use Xith, it is much cleaner API then jme but jme has better FPS when I load some models, don't know how it will be under much load.

Good to know.

...but jme has better FPS when I load some models, don't know how it will be under much load.

When we are not implementing new features we are tuning Xith from time to time. So it will become faster and faster

EDIT: Did you make sure, Display Lists are used in Xith3D. I don't know, how Display Lists are made use of in jME. In Xith3D you have to set the setType() method of a Shape3D. I will check, if DLs are used by default in the loaders and if not, if they can be used.

Where can I find more of these tutorials?
