  Why?

How?

This may seem ridiculous... but if this is your first model, i would check your conversion process. Make a box, and do whatever you do to convert it to a pof and put it in game. If the box floats there in space, you can eliminate one of the possible problems. (Dont forget to incinerate the box)

Kazan moans about blenders object saving..... I don't really know why.

But he does - or did - tend to badmouth using it with PCs.  Personally, I've never had a problem, regardless of how many file conversions my models have gone through into making it to pof stage.

EDIT - yep, black in normal sided mode.  morris13 told me that a looonnggg time ago (kudos to him )

hey, i have a problem converting a model: it keeps saying that it cant find the texture file, even though i have the original bitmap and the pcx version in maps, is it supposed to be in anotehr directory?

[Starfury]

Try putting it in the directory with the model, if you're using Truespace.

[LtNarol]

its in the model directory, the maps directory, and the effects directory, model (pof) is in the model directory

[Starfury]

mmkay... go under preferences and make sure Truespace is looking in the right directory for textures.

[LtNarol]

the problem is in fs2 and fred2, and yes, i did check.

textures MUST be 256*256 or 128*128 (or512*512 if you have the registry hack) AND of 256 colors (8 bit so if i'm not wrong) or fs/fred will not see em
