photogrammetry into maya then into Aurasma problems with textures

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 14:07:55 GMT

I have a problem such that I cannot import the textures into Maya either as an FBX or obj with textures from photogrammetric 3D models (done from ReMake). I have tried dragging them in (when I made then as an obj), I have tried creating a zip file for obj, textures and materials-note the materials file keeps getting the message unrecognized file type. I have tried just importing into aurasma with the texture file, dae and thumbnail, only comes up with a model that is invisible. I think the main problem is that it doesn't import into Maya with textures in the first place.

Hi @Anonymous and welcome!

I'm a little confused about your issue. Are you trying to import textures as FBXs/OBJs or are you trying to import a model that already has textures assigned to it?

Texture files aren't supposed to be fbx/obj they're supposed to be jpg/png/targa.

However if the issue is that you are importing a model with preexisting textures be sure to assign a new material to the model and then direct the file to wherever the texture is located on your computer.

Let me know if anything changes!

I have worked on the issue, so probably best to rephrase. But needless to say I am pretty confused I have produced a 3D model via photogrammetry into ReMake, edited it and exported either as an FBX or obj into Maya for animation and export into aurasma. I have tried importing as FBX or OBJ. When exporting as a DAE I have been either using the texture file from the obj or if I go into notepadd ++ for when I have created a DAE I can find the texure file there. In this case I can click on the link. If I follow the links steps as it were and I cant locate, but I can open in paint. So other than that no problem up to this point now. When I try to upload into aurasma it says "invalid file path". I have tried the solution given via the Aurasma forum. https://aurasma.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003520423-Invalid-file-path- this has not helped. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there an issue with how I have set it up? I hope that makes sense
