Re: [Plib-users] SSG for 3ds and ASE

[Dan G. <dg...@hp...>]

When I use ASE models, I get no colors no matter what.  Dave seemed to
imply that is expected.

I discovered that with 3ds format, even if I have no textured objects
in the scene I still have weird color problems.  The first object in
the scene is always white, but subsequent objects seem to have the proper
colors.  If there are any textured objects in the scene I get no colors.

I also have weird behavior where sometimes objects don't show up in .3ds
format, but they do appear when the scene is saved in .ase format.
And also the problem of it crashing sometimes with .3ds models.

Eliminating the ssgFlatten did solve my problems with loading .ase models.  Thanks.

To sum it all up, with .ase format everything loads, but colors never work.
With .3ds format, things don't load very well, but colors kind of work.
