hello I was wondering how to give my character a texture that does not have lighting effects and just renders the texture without shadow.

I was also wondering how to smooth the interpolation between the polygon verticies to achive a phong or “smooth” shading.

I am using a texture material for my model. I tried to use material.smooth = true; but this did not work. the model is an md5 mesh with animation.  thank you.

To have a shadeless mesh, I think you can simply not assign any lights to it.

To smooth faces:

Explode.apply(mesh);
Weld.apply(mesh);

Everything that Baush says is correct, although you shouldn’t have to explode the mesh before you weld it. Welding it straight away should be enough.

The smooth property that you have tried on the material has nothing to do with how the geometry is shaded, but only whether texture sampling is interpolated or not, i.e. whether textures are “smoothed” when they are too low-res for the surface they should be mapped onto.

hello. thank you for the responses. I have disabled lights for my models materials and that removed shading. However using “Weld.apply(mesh); has distorted my model as well as smoothed the faces. using “Explode.apply(mesh);” gives me an error:

thanks.

In what way was it distorted?

the faces intersect each other and the model does not represent the original anymore.

when I play animation this distortion is less severe. thanks.
