Hi everybody

I have meshed before, then had a little break and begun again some days ago. What makes me go crazy is, that I obviously forgot something important, because this problem never occured before. :blink:

When I export the basic mesh - for example a stool - with SimPe and import it as obj in Milkshape, the Mesh appears to be black. For me to work with, it's not helpful, but ok.

When I then saved my new mesh and would like to add the UV-map with UVMapper, the model is black again when viewing it. I ignored that, added the UVs, imported the mesh as usual with SimPe, added a simple texture and opened the game.

In game, the small sized image of a new object is black - as an example, I used a desk (and no, I didn't try to use a stool as a basic for a desk :rofl: ). No idea why! And the object itself looks awefull... the colours are just plain, it doesn't look 3D.

I have no idea what goes wrong. It happens with every single mesh I tried so far...

Does anybody have an idea what I do wrong? :| I would be very happy if somebody could help me with this, because it drives me nuts.

I can help with the milkshape part. Just go to the "Face" menu and click "Smooth All".

Hopefully a more experienced mesher will be able to help you further. :)
