RGyori Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 Not to add more to the now extensive list of gripes with VW9/RW9 (manuy of which I am still suffering with), but here goes... MacG3/512MB RAM/280MB to VW/RW and OS9.1 - After creating a new texture and applying it to an object, I see no texture when attempting to map it. I've tried all conceivable settings to no avail?still blank. I've worked with RW for several years and this is a first. Any help out there? Quote Link to comment
ajs Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 when this problem has appeared for me, I have had some success by going to a lower bit depth (like 256 colors instead of millions). doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. The texture may appear in bizarre colors due to this, but often times you can at least get enough feedback to map it. Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted May 9, 2001 Author Share Posted May 9, 2001 Thanks for the suggestion; however NNA in all its collective wisdom saw fit to limit running RW9 so that it needs thousands of colors or more to run...no 256 color bit depth solutions for this boy. Onward. Quote Link to comment
ajs Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Sorry- I should have mentioned that I use that trick in RW8. Quote Link to comment
troypwms Posted May 12, 2001 Share Posted May 12, 2001 Make sure that the object your mapping is at 0,0,0 in the model space- you'll get lost in the mapping box if its too far away from center..... It may not be a number of colors issue.... Can you see the object at least or nothing at all??? -Troy [This message has been edited by troypwms (edited 05-11-2001).] Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted May 14, 2001 Author Share Posted May 14, 2001 OK! That did it. For whatever reason, unlike RW 8, I apparently have to zoom out several times until I can see some portion of the object to be mapped ? though the origin coordinates are at 0,0 when I first open the mapping window. I them zoom in on the object so I can map the texture. Why the multi-step process I don't know but thanks for the answer! (NNN: this is with a document original to VW9/RW9 with textures created in VW9/RW9). Is there something I could/should be doing to avoid the problem? Quote Link to comment
troypwms Posted May 14, 2001 Share Posted May 14, 2001 Go baby Go!!! As far as textures and objects created in 8 opened in 9 - I've noticed lots of strange behaviour... Best to stick with all in 9 or 8 (work in one or the other) until NNA fixes some of the bugs... -TPW [This message has been edited by troypwms (edited 05-14-2001).] Quote Link to comment
