What file format works best when using OrgeAssimpconverter?

[minimy]

The best way is with blender or your cad program, can look for any tutorial in YT. Is not very hard.
The easy way is cube projection depend of the object too.

[Caronte3D]

You don't need external programs, you can do it with Blender very easy:

Select the object
Enter edit mode
Select the faces you need to be UVpapped
Push "U" key and chose the unwrap method
That's all, you model have UV

You can adjust and apply textures on the Blender UVEditor.

You can find many tutorials on YouTube.

Thank you Caronte3D, I followed the directions above you listed and it worked. Now I have to figure out why my objects are not positioned correctly. That should be easy for me to figure out.

May be this can help you.

Yes, I knew about those tutorials, but the tutorial directions are evidently for an older version of UV Mapper Pro because the menus don't match up with the directions. I did find some, maybe all of the menu options listed in the tutorials somewhere else in the menus.
The tutorials seem to talk like they are speaking to someone with previous experience with UV Mapping and or using the software. That is probably why I couldn't figure out what they were talking about to some degree.

Again, thank you both for all your help. I have learned a lot

I am not sure what happened, but I can't get the goal net to show up correctly any more. I keep following Caronte3D's directions and it is back to being messed up again.

[Caronte3D]

If you see the net correctly on Blender, the problem maybe on your code.
We can see an image of the result? or even better a minimal code to reproduce the problem?

Yes, I will post an image or 2 for you plus some code. I will edit this post when I get it done in a few minutes

[Edit:]

Note: The first time I was successful with the net in Blender 2.83 I did not get an error, but every time after that I get the following error when trying to export to Orge format in 2.83 and 3.5 newest version:
"There is no suitable exporter to export to .mesh." It only exports the .scene file. Why this happens now, I'm clueless. I have to export to Orge format using fragmotion instead.

Note 2:
The original net that I was succesful with was placed using Blender. I do not have that file anymore. The current net still needs to be placed, but I am concerned that it isn't showing properly.

Your net is 3D, not image, so your problem is not the UVs but the conversion (corrupted?) of the geometry from the .obj file to the .mesh one.

[Distorted Pixel]

Your net is 3D, not image, so your problem is not the UVs but the conversion (corrupted?) of the geometry from the .obj file to the .mesh one.

So, what should I do? I have tried to model a new one multiple times and still the same thing happens except the first time. I have uninstalled, wiped the registry clean and reinstalled Blender to hopefully fix the issue with no success. I will try again now and post back.

The only thing I could think what would corrupt it would be importing another .obj (Goal Posts) with it so I could adjust the net if needed to make sure it fit correctly. After I adjusted the net (if any) I removed the goal posts from the project and then exported the net as .obj because the Orge import/export plugin doesn't work for some reason.

Blender 3.5 version isn't installed, it is a portable version

[Caronte3D]

I think the problem maybe the combination of blender version and exporter version.
I haven't used 3D on PB for along time, so don't remember the correct steps. Maybe minimy can help you more because he is on a 3D project right now.

[Distorted Pixel]

I understand, I will except anyone's help.
I uninstalled all versions of Blender and wiped the registry and restarted the computer and reinstalled Blender 2.83.20 and copied/pasted necessary files to install the Orge plugin. I created a new net, then I did the UV step and got a message I have seen before. I pressed "U" key and selected unwrap and got the following message:

https://drive.proton.me/urls/MHWGFRWSAC#HZNVUiIbQVAX

I have not exported the model net yet. I will try that as soon as I post this message and post back the results.

[Distorted Pixel]

Using 2.83.20 version of Blender, I tried to export to Orge format and got errors, so I exported out to .obj and used fragmotion to export to .mesh and it worked this time.

I only have the above listed version of Blender on my system when I did the above listed stuff.

Done!

1. Install Blender 2.79b
https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.79/

2. Install Blender2Ogre 0.6.0

EDIT:
The .mesh is saved with the mesh name in the blender object.

Hello DP and caronte, export transparent objects and solid objects separate. Example: For the goal on the soccer field, one for the sticks and one for the net. I do that, export obj and then convert it with frag or ogreassimpconverter if it doesn't have animation.
I almost never use the.material, I prefer to create the material in PB and apply it to the object.
For simple mesh like football field you can create a plane, for the goal just need 8 vertex, can do this with createMesh( and MeshVertex(x, y, z, u.f, v.f, Color [, NormalX, NormalY, NormalZ]) may be more simple than export object from your cad.
For organic models use blender or other.
I hope this help you. Have nice day!

Thank you Caronte3D, I will give 2.79 a try for exporting to .mesh
