Wings 3d export object

Post by Andy1248 » Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:00 pm

I know that this may be a silly question and that the answer is obvious. I can currently UV map objects for export from Wings 3D where I have created a UV texture file and this works OK. It is the method I use to create my scenery objects.

However I am trying to create an object which does not have a UV map, one where I have allocated a material colour to each surface. The colours are visible within Wings 3D. But when I export as a Wavefront object and use the Condor object editor there are no colours on the object and when viewed in Condor the object just has a single default colour.

This may be me being very lacking in Wings 3D basics but is there a way of doing this?

As far as I know, you cannot have several materials on a single object in Condor.

Hi Andy,

To complete DGTFER, answer you must have only one material per object:

But no UV Mapping, that is no Texture map, so no colour on your object. That is normal.

Just do a standard UV Map ;
Segment by projection
Projection Normal.
Create Texture with correct options

Then Export to wafefront

When you save your ".obj" object, a texture map is automagically made and save by Wings 3d with your coloured faces in the current folder.

Open Object editor bind you texture map and do as usual etc..
