This is the most important thing I need to get working to get my creations working since i cant use the old QC actors anymore. If anyone can help it would really appreciate it.

Hi,

is it possible to post your Isadora file and 3ds file?

Best wishes

Did you have image files along side your 3ds files providing the textures?
They will need to be linked to the 3ds file as the texture, and will need to be named in a 8.3 format, eg: texture.jpg

Zip the files up and upload the Zip file. That will work.

@demetri79 I think it might be because the mesh is triangulated. I *think* it needs to be quads. It's also got a very strange UV map. See pics.1.png2.png

@skulpture this should work now. But UV was a very quick hot fix. 3ds-file-and-texture.zip

@demetri79 don't forget the UVs need reworking though. Blender can do this. Mesaage me if you need help with it.
