3D placeable models error

NimorImp

Hello Folks,

I am trying to make some 3D placeable models and heads with Neverblender program and every time I use any model that is not plain, I have the same problem. I get a grey coloured texture (even if sometimes they have the right colour) and a semitransparent renders with superimposed lines. I am unable to find what I am doing wrong when I export it.

Thank you for your help.

Sounds like you are using compressed tga files. NwN doesn't like the RLE compression and you end up with what you are describing there. If you are using gimp you must uncheck RLE compression when you export your tga texture. Looking at your pictures I have to say I've seen worse results but it definitely looks like the RLE compression thing.

I use Adobe Photoshop and always save my textures with RLE compression desactivated. The thing is that I do not have this problem when I edit another tile_set textures or add floor type plane models. I have try changing bytes/pixel, but it looks even worse.

I use a small program called tga flipper that turns tga images upside down. I therefore run it twice - once on the initial image and again on the flipped image. That way the image is the right way up afterwards. So why do I do what appears, at first glance, to be insane? The thing is this little program seems to get rid of a number of nasties. So why not give it a try? You won't be any worse off if it doesn't work for you and if it does work, great.

Hi. :-) Could you upload the files? Malfunctioning exported versions + .blend file, preferably. I'd like to poke this, see what I can find.

NimorImp

I have attached two blend type archives with their corresponding textures so you can look at it. Now I am going to try what TarotRedhand has suggested me, once I have done so, I will tell you if there is any change. I am working with Autodesk Maya and have imported the 3D model to Blender in FBX format, I do not know if that may have something to do with the problem. But as Tarot says, it is probably a problem with textures or with the export procces of the model or UVs.

Thank you for your help and your quick answer.

EDIT:
TGA Flipped have the same problem but now i can see the color in one of these models:

Good news: Looks like it's just the sizes of the textures. :-) Scaled them down to power of two, and they seem to be behaving themselves now. 2500x2500 -> 2048x2048. The 2050x2050 normalmaps too.

Great!
