Ok, this is what I do to make/export a model for use with DarkGDK
Tell me if I am doing anything incorrectly.


1) add a new mesh, shape it to how I like it
2) texture/shade it with already existing texture image.
3) save model as .blend format
4) export it as .3ds/.x file
5) put exported files and texture images in the same folder
6) use it in game.

when I do this, only an untextured model appears in my program.

do i need to UVmap it if there is an already existing image used to texture it?

i've been working on this for weeks and it is starting to tick me off I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. I've also used other 3d modeling apps. (milkshape, wings, 3ds)

can someone point me to a comprehensive tutorial just for this specific topic? Blender only explains how to create, not how to export it for game uses.

Lolz. Just use 3DS, it works fine for me, textures included.

Try the directx-exporter.

And open the directx file with notepad and search for your texture name.

i open it up and no texture keyword is there...where do i put it?
