Hello,

I imported a model into med from 3D Studio Max 9. After importing it and choosing my texture, I was surprised to see that when I run it in the engine, it only shows up as a wireframe(meaning you can see the edges, but in between is totally transparent. However, it does show up fine in the editor windows of both Med and Wed. It only has this problem when it's run through the engine.

I've tried both BMP and TGA, because I thought it might be a file format problem, no dice there.

Any ideas of what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Alex

my guess: invers face normals. your polgon normals show into the wrong direction. you can fix it in med by selecting all and applying the "flip normals" button on your top main bar.
or you can add the "normal" modifier in max before exporting the mesh.

if this doesnt solve it, post a screenshot here. pictures show more then 1000words.

cheers

I got it fixed by using a PCX file instead of TGA or BMP.

This is weird.

Oh well, looks like PCX files for me

This happend to me. Check your alpha chanel in your tga. I bet there will be a wireframed alpha. It sneaks in there somehow when you use a UV snapshot as a guide to creating your texture.
