SOLVED: Previewing normal map on model in nDo

aintnobody

Hi,

I'm getting started in using nDo v1.8 and following a basic tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDZDWvTUz-c) and I'm wondering how do I get the cube model to show up like this: http://i.gyazo.com/2659c6fb2b57a86e9122576bda3244bf.png

My version doesn't seem to offer any way to preview the normal map on either a default model or a custom model either. Does that feature not exist in newer version od nDo anymore ?

Nevermind, figured it out! Any way I can delete my thread ?

Good to see you sorted it out! Let me know if you have any more questions!

aintnobody

Yes! any way I can see the preview outside of the 3Do box and have it hover my layers when working with nDo, like I'm seeing in tutorials for older versions of nDo ? Also is it still possible to load custom mesh (when using nDo) ?

Eric Ramberg

Sorry but that is not possible with new ndo, but yes you can custom load a mesh when using ndo using the 3do custom loader!

aintnobody

Ah I see, pity! Anyways, I cannot seem to load a custom mesh in 3Do:



If it's the 5th icon that loads custom mesh, it's always greyed out whether I'm using nDo or dDo.

Eric Ramberg

The custom mesh loader is located in the main suite toolbar, where all the suite icons are located!
Press the little icon in the top right corner next to the X, then select the "Open 3do custom loader"

Let me know if you have any more questions

Ahh, I see, thank you very much !

Eric Ramberg

Can you please share how did you make it please? I'm wondering too how to make my mesh float without windowed frame.

I'm getting the exact same issue when loading custom meshes... any solution?

Eric Ramberg

Bigboom - This is most likely due to the mesh being exported correctly. Try checking the box "Tangent and binormals" also make sure the mesh is triangulated!

Defonten - This is legacy ndo, this feature does unfortunately not exist in new ndo.

systemic - Are you using legacy ndo as well?
