[Plib-users] correct texture mapping for loaded models / problems with AC3d models/loader

[Jakob G. <pi...@st...>]

 I've been trying to use (rather simple) texture mapping with SSG,
 for objects created in AC3D 5.0.21 (a modeller whose no-nonsense interface
I
 like).
    However, the textures come up all skewed when I display the objects
 with SSG, and not at all the way they look in AC3D.

    Even when I cut it down to the most primitive - a rectangle - the
texture looks weird, no matter if the rectangle is x, y or z aligned.
 But it's not just flat polygons that fail - I get same problem with e.g. a
box.

 I wonder if this is a known problem between SSG and Ac3d, or if I'm doing
 something "known" wrong?

 Also, I would like to hear suggestions of which formats/editors are good
candidates
 for doing (correctly texturemapped) 3d objects for SSG. I am aware of this
table
 http://plib.sourceforge.net/ssg/non_class.html
 - but this table also lists textures as supposed to be working with Ac3d,
 so I'd like to know beforehand before I buy the next 3d editor...

 I was thinking of using PrettyPoly instead, but it either refused to load
my models
 and/or crashed on me without any dying message, so I guess it's not yet
ready
 for prime time (?).
