Hello all,
In Machinima, I’ve downloaded some assets for SketchFab. Some come to stage fine, others come in dark. I’ve turned a light on, which illuminates the ground plane but none of the textures illuminate, although clearly there is a 3d model there. As a noob, I’m sure there is some small thing I’m doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!
Are there any materials mapped to the model? What was your conversion process?
Hi Dtyner,
Still new to this process. The Sketchfab model does have textures, several work fine. But several don’t. I’m just double clicking on the asset which brings up a dialogue box to prompt saving the old scene or not.
Expecting this:
Seeing black.
Thanks for the help! Or any clues. Still haven’t figured out texture mapping in Omni/Machinima. Materials seem pretty straightforward but I’m not seeing how the UV’s connect to the object. Much to learn :)
Cheers,

sometimes loggin in to nucleus brings in missing textures…
Hi Pekka! Thanks for the note. I did see some textures show up after I went and did an errand for a few minutes - when I came back, the textures for the Minesweep character were there. So perhaps I need to make sure my Nucleus login is good and still connected. Still have so much to learn, especially about textures.
Really liked your ‘lady reading books’ shot. I don’t know the intent of the piece but I envisioned a camera pan right to left, showing the rows of books, as if someone is scanning the shelf, looking for a certain book.

Hey Pekka,
Caught ya on the live stream today. Tanja does some amazing work yeah?
Did ‘Sally Seeking the Truth’ come out?
I was just today trying to attach a sphere to a character’s skeleton., Not easy so far :)
Cheers,

Hi Zia!
Sally is done, its here:
Also a nice stuff if you want to learn about making it!
I made a video for youbout constaining the sphere to a skeleton:
The stuff I fiddle in the beginning is that the hotkey for scaling is not working!
Notice at 1:36 I first select the Skeljoint and then with CRTL key pressed down, I also select the ball.
Anyways, Hope this helps you :)
Yes, Tanja was inspirational!!
Wow - holy heck 'n bach! You made that look so easy. Thank you for saving me another ~n number of hours of fiddling. I can’t believe it was so easy, if we know how. I was totally stuck on the Parent-Child part. I came across some USD documentation talking about Gprims and how they should not be nested, but that was 100 miles away from Animation and constraints.
Yay Sally. Congrats on creating a character, and complete environment and a story. How long did it take overall?

Cool! Sally took alike a month to do, but now I am a lot faster,
so it would take now about 2 weeks…
