Hello,

I need some help, cause with my .obj file the textures are not in a dds or a targa but into a .mtl ! :|

I dont know how to open this file to convert into other format. (google dont know to )

Do Esenthel can use .mtl in mesh editor ? I tried, it doesnt, but i'm not a pro with Esenthel.


Thanks !

sorry i havent heard of .mtl textures

I have these files (.mtl) cause I try actually some tree generators. (like IvyGenerator and Dryad).

I have it too. When I export a model from blender.

Maybe simply rename it to .mtrl and try to import from mesh editor ....

The .mtl files are external references to the materials used in the .obj files. They define materials by values for the various channels like diffuse, ambient, specular, alpha or texture map. They are essential to the original Wavefront OBJ format.

the person the first post have mentioned that textures are in .mtl format, which causes confusion

Yes, I used Dryad Tree Generator, and the generator give me only two files, the .obj and the .mtl, but no textures images with the .mtl !
So when I use the .obj and the .mtl in the Mesh Editor, I just have the model...

so where are the textures? in what file? could you paste here the .mtl file?

I will paste the .mtl file later, cannot now on this pc.

I have just another question, in the mesh editor, when I open a model, I use two texture for the model, how can I use TWO textures in the mesh editor ? (for example a tree : targa texture for the head and png texture for the trunk)

Thanks.

you need to apply each material for each mesh part separately
just use -= keys to access different mesh parts

Okay thanks, it works fine.

But how to open the material editor of "PART" of the mesh ?
Cause when I drag a new texture in the mesh editor (on a part of model) it texture all the model and not the part.

(sorry for my low english D: )

I guess you missed the Mesh Editor documentation, please read it carefully.
youll need to set multiple materials for each part

I said to rename it because it happend to me : an OBJ file with .mtl files. I dont remember if i renamed or simply convert to gfx with Esenthel converter...
regards.

ps : sorry i did not see the end of discuss thread : nevermind

Yep I tried to rename it and I tried to convert it.

But I think the problem is simple : There isnt textures..
I will try new textures.
