Is there a preferred format? Since I cannot export it as a Muvizu object, I assume an ASE is aacceptable? And the user would just color it as they want? (since there's no texture or color cotrol in the ASE model)


As emily said, ASE is fine. It's currently the only object format Muvizu accepts for imported objects. The user can then colour it as they want, like you said.]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:23:08 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1148-imported-objects--odd-specularity.aspx Message from Wizaerd Emily wrote:
Yep - .ase is fine, you might also find these tutorials handy:

Yup, seen 'em. Lots and lots of times, it's how I was able to get some different objects imported. I've even did the collission mesh over the weekend.]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:10:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1148-imported-objects--odd-specularity.aspx Message from Emily

Hi Wizaerd,

If you want to share objects you've created just go to the Upload link below the search box on here and select "3D Asset" you will need to zip it up and provide a preview image but once you've done that and uploaded it then anyone can download it from here (provided you make it public )

Also the specularity seems to be related to Sketchup objects specifically. I had some ASE files made in 3D max studio that didn't have this problem. I'll take a closer look into it.

BTW, I love the whole import idea... if I were to make an object that others might want, how can I distribute it> As a sketchup file, an ASE file, or is there a way to upload it to the available 3D asset section here?

And finally, it's not possible to add an imported objects to the Favorites in the object browser?
