Hi everyone,
http://www.inivis.com/forum/showthre...ight=milkshape - This thread talks a little about my concern.
I am writing some OpenGL software and I wanted to use AC3D as my tool to create and manipulate models for use in the program. I was looking at using Apron's fairly full featured Milkshape 3D Ascii Loader (
http://www.morrowland.com/apron/tut_gl.php - about mid-page).
However, it looks like AC3D, while it exports the texture coordinates, does not actually have any way of including the texture file associated with each mesh.
So uhm... I guess my question is why not? And how hard would it be to make it do that? Milkshape's Ascii format *does* support texture files in the materials. Is there any way to get AC3D to include the path to the texture file in the export? Maybe an alternative plugin? Geez even a programatically inserted comment above each mesh indicating the path would be fine :P.
