[Plib-users] 3DS loading problem

[Jasmin P. <jf...@ho...>]

Hi,

I'm having problems loading a 3DS model with textures.  The model seems
to load fine, but the textures aren't being displayed.

This model was sent to me by someone (I don't have 3D Studio Max), and I
had to rescale the textures to powers of 2.  The original textures were
8 bit; if I leave them at 8 bit then the faces that are supposed to be
texture-mapped become totally transparent.  If I resample them to 24 bit
the faces reappear, their colour changes (though it's still a solid
colour, not a texture, though the colours are pretty close to the average
colour of the respective textures), but that's it.

I'm using plib-1.1.11 and plib_examples 1.1.8 (I'm using the a slightly
modified version of the 'load' program in the load_save ssg example to
load and display the model.)

Any ideas what's going on?  Does the fact that I resampled the textures
invalidate the 3DS model?  

Thanks,
Jasmin
