[osg-users] FBX Files Textures

[Randall Hand]

Hey all.. i'm attempting to load a nice FBX model provided by an
animator, and the Geometry comes in just fine (as well as the Animation
keyframes, I think), but the textures are completely lost.

I wanted to ask here, is this a known issue when exporting from Maya? 
Before I tell him what's wrong, I wanted to know if there's something
simple I could try or ask him to do that might resolve it. (eg: check a
box in the export for Making OpenScenegraph compliant Textures :) ).

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem, but certain Autodesk
products embed a proprietary material format that is not even supported by
their own FBX SDK. This prevents 3rd party applications from reading in the
material color/texture information. We've run into the same issue before
and couldn't find a suitable workaround. There is a post on the Autodesk
forum regarding this issue:
