Import ASE files => texture doesn't appear

Hello

I have downloaded some 3DS Max models and i have exported them to the rc := (TLoad3DSMax new initializeWithFileName: (FileDirectory pathFromURI:'Content/laptop/Laptop3.ASE') scale:0.01) frame.
rc translationX: 0 y:0 z:0.
file format. I have selected to export the textures also. When I try to load them into Croquet it works fine but the texture doesn't appear. I have placed the texture in the same map as the ASE file, into a map called Textures and into the textures map of Croquet.
However the texture does not appear.

Also a second problem is that when i load the ASE file it goes very very slow. Is there a faster way to work ?
I work like this for the moment.

rc := (TLoad3DSMax new initializeWithFileName: (FileDirectory pathFromURI:'Content/laptop/Laptop3.ASE') scale:0.01) frame.
rc translationX: 0 y:0 z:0.

I found something on the internet called a VRML loader but i doesn't work.
Thanks in advantage

Re: Import ASE files => texture doesn't appear

First, open the ASE file to ensure that the materials include the proper
links to the textures. The file names for the textures should be there
(ASE is just a text file, so should be easy to read). If that is the
case, then you should be able to place the textures either into the same
folder directory as the ASE file, or in a sub-folder called Textures. I
think this can also be lower case t (Mac and Linux are case sensitive).

Re: Import ASE files => texture doesn't appear

In reply to this post by Rob Van Pamel

I have tried this but it doesn't seem to appear. The file which is referred is a jpg file should this give any problems?
or can i apply a texture to it later also ? because that also gives a problem ...

Rob,

Did you ever get this to work?
