I have a 3ds model of a person. It has two textures: the head has one texture and the body has another. I loaded the object and the two bmp textures in darkbasic. When I texture the object with one of the images, the whole object is painted with that image. How can I only texture a part of an object?

well if the object is prebuilt to load up the two textures then you dont need to texture it

only dark basic pro TRUELY supports multi texturing


hope that helps

Till then,

It is prebuilt with textures, but for some reason darkbasic loads it without them. I'm saving it as a 3ds model in Milkshape 3D. Do 3ds models save without textures? I guess I'll try .x

thank you.

.x is miles better beause it is known as a "mesh"

if you have 1 texture for the head, and one texture for the body, like you said, you can simply load both images, then use "texture object limb obj, limb, image".

if you have UV mapped the model, the limb will automatically find it's place in the texture file.

3DS files are saved with the texture. All you have to do is put the texture in the same folder as your program, and model. Then just Load Object "Head.3ds", Load Object "Body.3DS"

but why would you want the same object to be split into two when you could just load it and the textures are linked to it?

I suppose to turn the head to look around. Could be a limb, but still works this way.
