[Fiware-creatifi-coaching] [CreatiFI Barcelona Hub] General Support #338 Virtual Characters: How to export models with textured images

[Xavier Carol Rossell]

Hi,

Following with this issue, here you can find the reply from the user:

"We are using the addon for Blender to export our models. You can see the
current state at: http://annacarreras.com/toonaville/vc/Guia.html.
We have the textures at the same folder of the json model.

You can find the code at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/clednaxsfwzt20l/vc.zip?dl=0
Inside the VC folder you will find the Guia.html page and the model inside
the models folder.

Tha problem is that some textures doesn't render well.
The model normlas are ok because if we use:
var material = new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial( materials );
the browser renders all the surfaces.

We are using:
var material = new THREE.MeshFaceMaterial( materials );
model = new THREE.SkinnedMesh( geometry, material );
If we use:
enableSkinning(model);
All the model disapears.

Currently the textures that were created using a UV modificator are
correctly rendered (the character arms and legs).
On the other hand the textures that uses an Unwrap modificator (body and
helmet) are not rendering well or even they become transparent and disapear.

Could you please help us. We are attaching also images to show you how the
character should look like."

Thanks in advance.
Xavier Carol.
