Good question, suvakas... I'm almost as ignorant as you are, but the further I know I won't tell you.

Just a question: would not reverse gamma correction be preferable than adding contrast ? Or has your image already been rgced ?

Beautifull work 8bstudio !

Thank you

great one afecelis, thanks !

try looking in the .obj file to see what the materials are called, and try defining materials with those names. Actually that's exactly what I did in my first post, code #3. Code #2 exposes the material as in a mtl file, coz obj files themselves only hang geometries, nothing else. That's my point :...

Okay, I'll have a look OnoSendai, thank you for the precision. However my question excluded the case of a prior material definition embedded in the material. I'm just badly trying to get obj files working... That's a mat pb I'm sure of that because the geometry is correctly built within the tree... ...

Nevermind the previous post, this is not an Indigo description scene exposed here. I'm now pretty sure the issue with obj files is a material one

Just to be clear, my question is:

How to assign a material to an external mesh wich has no material in its definition/file structure ?

Here's an excerpt of a exemple scene shipped with Indigo: <mesh> <name>ajax</name> <external> <path>..\Ajax_Jotero_com\Ajax_Jotero_com.3ds</path> </external> </mesh> <model> <normal_smoothing>true</normal_smoothing> <rotation> <matrix> 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 </matrix> </rotation> <pos>-1 -0.8 0</pos> <sc...

Nice modelling ! SubD's ?

I second that request, could be just usefull: I can't get working 3ds files out of Blender (my bad for sure), obj files are not supported so I found myself editing xml files thousands of lines big.

Silverman, you may add a [REQ] tag in the title of this thread

Ok, my bad...

Side note: I'm quite anxious with reading a quick explanation for the advanced <renderer_settings>, or a link to a paper or post will do as well. One sentence per tag is enough to get an idea... Mainly: <large_mutation_prob> <max_change> <russian_roulette_live_prob> <max_num_consec_rejections> <stra...

Did you try to reset transforms as well as scale, like afecelis show here ? Seems logical, in case the exporter fails to translate coords at least for 0 0 0 that shouldn't be an issue...

Resetting transforms will place every objects coords to 0 0 0 without moving them.

Icons HAVE to be in their own folder within the default icons folder for Maya (\My documents\maya\x.x\prefs\icons\mtiIcons).

I believe setting XBMLANGPATH manually won't help.
