Re: Help creating new object & light source from scratch Assuming you already have the brace itself we will recreate the light panels. Export the room. (With a floor thickness set to 6" it should produce an object 6" thick.) Edit the obj file to set the material name 'light' like you did before. Import the object. It should be as thick as the floor thickness: 6". If not you can still change the thickness to 6". Place the panel in the brace and export both brace and panel together. Import and rotate/tilt/resize/set colors and export the finished brace-with-panel. I had to go back to your previous reply. I'm trying to narrow down where it keeps going wrong for me. Yes, in my current working file, I have a brace, still made of walls so it's not an object yet. I exported the 1 piece light, changed both the obj. and mtl. files, though you only said to do the obj. file, but previously you said that they both have to be changed whenever I change something? Then to test it, imported it back into the file as furniture. Yes, at THIS point, it's 6" thick, which is great, though the preview of the piece shows it as being black or grey? I don't know why that is. When it's imported, the sides are the correct color but the top is white. I Placed the panel in the brace and exported both brace and panel together at a new obj. file. I imported it back into this work file as furniture to check it before I go to the Furniture Library Editor. When I brought it in, both the light and the brace were the color I selected for the brace. Also the light part inside was no longer 6" thick. It reverted to a thin sheet like before, but now it's brown. It appears these are now entirely the same merged object so I didn't bother going forward with the FLE. Not sure what I did wrong. |
