Hello,
Does anyone know of a good windows freeware that can make .mlt texture maps for GEM to use with custom .obj objects?

i like this question a lot. except i'm interested in a linux possibility.
no answer long time scares a bit. Freeware Wings3D should do good maps (and that on OSX, Linux and Windows) but could it be that [model] only takes the material color features but not the texturing??

hi
well as far as i know (from old 3d days) a texture map and a material (shader) are handled as two different things (well of course colour is part of the shader) where the texture map is just linked to the shader map by the 3d app. anyway it would be really cool if gem would be capable of that feature to (as every 3d app does since the first days of houdini and so on...). it also would be really nice if gem would support some kind of fx shaders like glows or so... (anyway i don`t really know how hard it is to realize something like this in concerning realtime performance...) (i also dream of realtime paint effect or importable mel scripts ;) )

Hello,
the .obj format can include very detailed UV-Mappingdata which allows precise texturing. Wings3D can generate and export it but it seems that GEM ignores it so far while it handles other material aspects well.

maybe you should look on squeak (www.squeak.org), nice free multimedia system.
