Trouble with textures

jmardlin · 02-08-09, 09:40 PM

I am doing a playable Montana class and every model I import Show's up black. I have the bumpenable turned off in the render controller so that isn't it.

Black means there is no texture at all. check through your .cfg and upc files in notepad to make sure the paths are correct

i was never good at that stuff but you have different channels (alpha channel i think) and if you dont apply them correctly it can cause washed out images and other issues such as weird colors and transparent things sometimes.

Turn of the lightmap. This generally is responsible for black renderings. Until you bake a new lightmap of course (I'm assuming you don't have one yet).

I don't know how to do either. If I put null for lightmap and normal it is very bright. If I do it for just lightmap the color becomes very flat. I do have adobe photoshop v8
