[NEED HELP] Does anyone know why using Openbrf to import obj will look like the picture?

[vitmainlem]

I imported this model which I made myself from Blender 3.4, but I don't know why part of the surface disappeared after importing it. Since it's my first time to use Openbrf, please help.

Check YouTube for some tutorials on how to texture models on Blender. It will be much more indepth than anything I can tell you here.


By default, any weapons you add will only be available to you. You will need to add it to the troops' inventories for them to have it. NPCs do not buy from shops like the player does.

Hello, So do you know how to import this dds?

 

[SupaNinjaMan]

You need to export it as a dds texture using the DXT1 - DXT5 compression format, into you mod's Texture folder (Some apps will call it BC1 - BC3). Then in the brf with the mesh, import the texture, it will ask if you would like to create a material with the same name, check yes, then apply that material to the mesh.

To learn some basic functions of OpenBRF, there is this tutorial: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...tools-managing-resources-with-openbrf.385750/

That tutorial has a section on how to set up a material, including what settings and shaders to use.

Make sure to check the tutorial threads. There should be tutorials covering every step we have gone over. Sometimes the tools or techniques will be out dated, but it's not too hard to figure out how to apply them to modern apps.

Using the filters you can limit it to Tutorials and 3D Art.

Thanks for replies.
So I did what asked but I don't know why it is not working:

This is the dds I converted(4096x4096)

Material

Texture

Based on those pictures it looks like OpenBRF either cannot find the texture, so you have it in the wrong texture folder, or the compression you chose isn't the correct one. What app did you use to convert the texture to dds?

This is what I use convert the texture to dds = https://www.aconvert.com/image/png-to-dds/
and dds is in 4k

Also what do you mean about texture folder?

Also what do you mean about texture folder?

MountBlade Warband\Modules\your-mod\Textures\ you would put your textures here

This is not going to work, dds has TONS of different compression formats, this doesn't seem to use one that OpenBRF will read.

Additionally, it's very important to have the control to choose the correct compression format. Based on your alpha channel transparency, you will need different ones.

A good free software with built in DDS support is https://getpaint.net/

This is the paint.net dds dialog, only use these three. These are all that WB will be able to read.

a: DXT1, No Alpha or 1-bit Alpha
b: DXT3, Sharp Alpha, Very little semi-transparency
c: DXT5, Smooth Alpha, Good soft semi-transparency

OK, nice and clear thank you
So i tried it seem to still same nothing changed

 

[SupaNinjaMan]

What compression format did you use?

 

[vitmainlem]

What compression format did you use?

I tried all three
Also does resolution of the dds effect on openBrf?

 

[SupaNinjaMan]

Did you reload OpenBRF between updating the file format? It won't reload the texture files until you re-open the app or hit F5

 

[vitmainlem]

您在更新文件格式之间是否重新加载了 OpenBRF？在您重新打开应用程序或按 F5 之前，它不会重新加载纹理文件

哦，我会尝试一下
tried not working...

This is the texture linked above compressed in DXT1 dds


It should work for you. Just drop it into the texture folder, register it in the item's brf as a texture, and then make the material. Based on that tutorial from earlier.

So now I managed to use the texture, but the dds is not cover the item correctly...

Did you export the mesh before performing the UV-Mapping? You might want to reexport the mesh to insure you're exporting the UVs as well.

Oh I think that is the problem is, thank you for point that out.
