Hi Keith, it is a great asset. However, I have a problem when importing the models to Smile Game Builder engine. The models load fine, but the textures don't. It says:
"It contains no texture/material. You need to apply UV Mapping with PNG format."

"You cannot use multiple materials for one model."

Do you know how to overcome this?

Thanks in advance^^

Ouch! Well, I definitely use multiple materials for my models. It sounds like the error message pretty much states that my models will be incompatible.

My apologies. I designed these mostly for Assetforge and Unity and have not tested them on any other platforms.

Thanks for the reply Keith. Knowing that it is also for Assetforge I thought It's also for SGB as most SGB users say Assetforge is compatible for SGB. Still I could use it for my unity project. Thanks again.

After a little research I found that you can split a mesh by material in many 3D modeling programs, including Blender. You can then export each material separately.

That means you would assemble in Assetforge, then use something like Blender afterwards to take Assetforge export and generate a model file for each material. I saw a few videos on this as well.

It may also be possible to generate a png file from the materials and have the model material assignments replaced with uv mapping coordinates. This one I've seen forum posts on, but haven't looked for a plug-in for doing it.

Good luck.
