[SOLVED] exporting multiple textures

[Aleksey]

So i got my model in 6 parts.  brought them all into 3d coat. painted all the parts. pressed export model. And only one of the textures gets exported. for only one of the parts.

 

How do i get all the objects to export? ie 6 textures, 1 for each object ( with its own UV) .

 

 

 

 

Also, how do i change the name of the materials in the Texture editor? I thought if i changed em in "materials" they would change there too, but they dont

do you use on every object the same uv space ?

 

//edit

 

try

 

help ?

each object has there own uv tag in cinema4d. So yeah i guess they all use the same 1,1 UV space ( im a bit ignorant here). I just unwrapped them each separately in 3d coat.

Nope, it just exports a psd with layers ( which is nice) But still only for one object

 

also in the drop down menu when i select export all layers. there 3 uv sets to pick from and "all layers"

 

which is wierd, coz i have more uv sets than 3..

There are only 3 sets. You have 4x Default, that gets joind into one.

I am not sure what you did, but if i import a model, same material gets joined befor i could start painting.

How many texturesets did you have on import? Was there 6, too?

[Aleksey]

I used the c4d import plugin.

 

here is a video showing what i did. maybe this helps.

 

( i didnt figure anything out, it was just misguided excitement)

If you send the object to 3d coat you could rename the uvset name.

or if you are done with import

Try this (Edit)

 

And rename you Uv-Set name to individual names.

 

Have you ever testet to send all 6 objects at the same time and not one by one?

Ok sweet! thanks for that.

 

So after importing them all at the same time i realized that all the objects apart from the one with the material applied to it imported with the uv sets on top of each other.

 

so i went back in and applied a blank material to each objects and named it according to the mesh part.

 

now its exports as expected. Now just to figure out how to export the textures i already have painted

 

[edit]: when i change the titles in mesh and texture resolution, they dont seem to save. every time i exit and come back they have their old names. ( in my old spider file)

 

I think it messed up because i imported the geometry without a texture tag, so they all have the same name....

 

 

[edit2]: ok so for now i just delete every object except the one i want to export and i can get all the parts out that way. For future reference: apply materials to your objects in c4d before sending them over to 3d coat. =)
