Re: [Plib-users] How to add color to .3ds file object?

[Wolfram K. <w_...@rz...>]

I looked a tad deeper and the problem is this:

According to Allen Yang there is colour information in the 3DS and 3D
Canvas displays it coloured. Allen says it has on colour, 3D Canvas
displays it in 3 or 4 colours, I do not know why.

PPE and 3D Exploration display it in white, their default colours.
When I debug in PPE, I see that the file contains many chunks of types
PLIB does not know: 15678, 16736, 16662 etc.It could well be that one
of them is a colour. BTW, is Per Liedman listening?

The possibilities for Allen are:
- Create the 3DS with a colour chunk that the loader recognizes, I am
pretty sure there is such a thing, but do not know how to convince
your 3D program to output it. Maybe use anothert program or a
converter.
- Texture the model
- Use another format
- Colour it in code.

Bye bye,
Wolfram.
