Material or texture problem in IMVU

<< < (2/3) > >>

kat:
Your Material names need to be modified slightly, you can have "block" as the Material name, but you need to change the numerical append "[0]" for all-but-one to be sequential, i.e. "block [1]", "block [2]", "block [3]" and so on (remove the *.001 etc)... Basically IMVU gets its material references from the names given to the Materials in Blender, each of which needs to be 'unique'.

Nice mesh.

JanXuan:
OK I will try that. Meanwhile I maneaged to get 6 slots but still working wrong.
The thing that blocked the last 3 slots was a "o" in stead of a "0" (block 4).
That was a tricky one. :)
So here's the situation now. I guess your last advise will fix those errors. :)

JanXuan:
I tried the numerical sequence but it did not change anything.
I checked earlier meshes where this was not a problem.
The situation is still the same 2x 2 meshes sharing the same texture) as shown in my last pict

kat:
Keep in mind that IMVU's material list will often display *all* the materials associated with the project per mesh instance, which may look like the assignments are all wonky. You've tried to manually load an XRF into the errant slot yes? You could also try manually editing one of the XRF files to ensure the image referenced is different (doesn't matter what it so so long as its different).

JanXuan:
There seems to be a permanent link between mesh blockFLOOR.MESH and mesh blockFLOOR.MESH.003.
I have no idea how, the first was appended as a new block from your sample furniture file. There is no physical connection between the two meshes. Texture slot 01 (IMVU) seems not want to be changed in any way. Manual XRF does not work on it. I can add textures but they won't affect the mesh.

I guess I need to use a texture which does not look bad at both blockFLOOR.MESH and mesh blockFLOOR.MESH.003. Not a perfect solution but I can live with it (both are wood). I can now edit the phone, the phone box, the bed and the pilar with arm rest (also wood). I think it will look ok, but I still would like to once find out what the problem is, because it's giving me a head ache.

And yes, they are nice meshes, the Star Wars stuff is fun to do. I loved doing the Max Rebo band music thingy. :)
