Help needed decoding *.obj node
 

Moin,

as you probably know *.obj files are stored as type 1/101 data block.

May be I´m blinded by having seen to much hex data in the past days, but does anynody know what data are shown/stored in this red marked block?

Regards,

Isn't that the faces (triangles) data ?

Ref

I agree with Ref.

vertex1: unsigned 2-byte int
vertex2: unsigned 2-byte int
vertex3: unsigned 2-byte int
texture coord1: unsigned 2-byte int
texture coord2: unsigned 2-byte int
texture coord3: unsigned 2-byte int

Moin,

thanks guys. Turning back to the bloody TMAP section then. I found that attaching Raytraced Halo nodes to an object prevents the lights from shining through them, BUT only if they have a TMAP section.

Transparency MAP ?

Ref

Hi,
Never thought about nameing it that way. But that makes sense. The usual way to control opacity/alpha channel behaviour is useless with lights. This TMAP is/seems to be the clue.
