Hiya. Check the following code out. Basically I load in a 3DS mesh using LoadAnimMesh and use a sperical map texture on it. My problem is that a small section of the sphere has a 'stain' for want of a better word for it which looks unsightly at the top of the sphere.
Dim p_up(9)
Global orb_map = LoadTexture("textures\spherical\p_up.png", 64)
Global uni_map = LoadTexture("textures\spherical\universe.png", 64)
powerup = LoadAnimMesh("meshes\p_ups\standard.3ds")
ScaleEntity powerup, .05, .05, .05
For I = 1 To CountChildren( powerup )
entity = GetChild(powerup, I)
name$ = EntityName$(entity)
If Instr(name$, "orb")
EntityTexture entity, orb_map
EntityShininess entity, 0
Else
EntityTexture entity, uni_map
EntityShininess entity, 1
EndIf
Next
For I = 1 To CountChildren( powerup )
entity = GetChild(powerup, I)
name$ = EntityName$(entity)
If Instr(name$, "orb")
EntityColor entity, 255, 0, 0
p_up(0) = CopyEntity(powerup)
EntityColor entity, 0, 0, 255
p_up(1) = CopyEntity(powerup)
EntityColor entity, 255, 0, 255
p_up(2) = CopyEntity(powerup)
EntityColor entity 0, 192, 0
p_up(3) = CopyEntity(powerup)
Exit
EndIf
Next
FreeEntity powerup
That covers every change made to the model. The 'stain' is apparent on all colored versions of the model and the spherical texture used is a simple greyscale gradient (sunburst) with a bright center and dark outer. I would post an example, but Angelfire sucks at that kinda thing.
