That's exactly the problem. If you use the wrong tool in 3D Studio Max cloning the "legs" rather than creating "copies" the "clones" won't show up when our loader imports the file into Java.
As I recall, 3D Studio Max has three options when you go to duplicate an object but I don't remember off the top of my head which work and which don't. "Cloning" in 3D Studio Max doesn't really give you any advantage inside Java as you still need the vertices of the other objects for Java to render it (unless we implemented shared groups and fully supported the clone - and I have no plans to do the work to support that). - John Wright Starfire Research Flavius Alecu wrote: > > Michael, > > Imagine I have made a model in 3d studio max...a table with four legs...when > I import this model into my java app, it's just a table with one leg. the > others just aren't there...not wierd graphics fx no nothing...they just > aren't there.... > > >From: Michael Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: Discussion list for Java 3D API <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] mnstarfire 3ds loader problems > >Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2004 00:15:27 -0000 > > > >How about a picture?
