I had the same feeling. When I imported the head.obj file in 3DS, and exported both models in the same obj, the texture worked for me… Really strange, but probably indeed a bug. Haha very nasty indeed for a beginner, but still good to have found it, and moving forward now. Thanks for the support!

-Q

The .obj does work now

Btw, does anyone have an idea what could be wrong in texturing .3DS files?

I have a model in 3DSMax, UVWunwrapped it, textured it, converted it to editable poly. And exported it to a .3DS file.

I can load the model, but the texture won’t load. For your info:
- I renamed the filename to the 8 char name.
- I changed the preferences in MAX to relative paths.
- Putted the texture in the same folder as the .3ds file.

Does anyone think of something I forget?

Thanks!
