Can anyone please show me exactly how to import a model I’ve created in 3dsmax 2017+? (mymodel.3ds or mymodel.fbx)
I can’t get my model to show up. I’m not even sure what I’m doing wrong. I know this should be easy, but it’s simply baffling me.
I have the model located within the same directory as the monkey code file. Is that wrong? I don’t get an error.
For starters, you need this in the code:
#Import “<mojo3d-loaders>”
Without this, the assimp module that includes thre 3ds loader wont even be present! Have a look at some of the tests in modules/mojo3d-loaders/tests.
Also, you parent the model to the camera and then move it up 2.5 units. This means that no matter where you move the camera, the model is always above the camera which might be a problem. Also, if the model is too big or too small it wont be visible.
Can you view the model in the ted2go IDE?
Thank you so much!!! It’s showing up now!
when you ask “can I view the model in the ted2go IDE?” are you implying that there’s a way to see it without running my code?
For sure, you can double click on model files from within the ted2go project browser, or drag ‘n’ drop them into ted2go from the OS file explorer.
