Hi, I just bought a spaceship model from a website, download it, and then imported the .fbx file into dimension, but it just appears as an outline on the design screen. I've got all the textures but how do I have the model appear correctly in dimension with it's textures applied?

  • A screenshot of the display you have would help
  • What file type are the textures?

yes the images help a lot... thanks for posting them

ok the issue you have IS the textures and I have seen | reported this before. Dimension is a new software that doesn't know how to handle old file formates like Bmp or Tga, when you try to open a file that has textures it can't read them this 'clear' model is the result, also be aware that trying to save the Dn file will cause a crash which will make the Dn worthless

 

what to do now = convert the Tga files [correctly] to Png or Jpeg ... Jpeg is the easy option but it can't show transparency so is not good for decals, Png needs to actually be Png not just have the leters at the end of the file name

 

if you want [share the files] and I'll convert them with Photoshop

    Thanks for the offer, but I have photoshop. I converted the files, by loading the textures into photoshop, exported them as .png, replacing the original files, and the result is the same, see screen shot.

     


    Can you share fbx fail or download link to test. Thx
