Phil hunt Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 i have modelled a light unit in v13 and attached 5 materials glass, neon, gloss white and so on but when i export i loose the material textures i checked all the boxes to include the textures but they do not export with the model any suggestions please Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 i think i know the problem i have made the textures from vector works using a shader and not an image based png texture so there is nothing to export just the material.....i think that the way it works ! Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 yes...... i have attached a jpg as a texture and it does export as i thought is there no way to export the renderworks texture just as a texture without a image attachment....as you can see from the render just materials Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 hi did anyone have an answer to the renderworks texture export does it have to be an imported image from a file to allow the texture to be exported as a .3ds file cheers Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted January 3, 2014 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yes, it appears here the textures need to be image-based textures in order to be exported as images alongside the 3DS file. Quote Link to comment
