External Texture Image not imported for .dae (COLLADA) format about assimp HOT 7 CLOSED

aiScene::HasTextures() refers to embedded textures. Check the scene materials (aiMaterial::GetTexture(...) & aiMaterial::GetTextureCount(...)) for externally references textures.

from assimp.

@jdduke I see...
so I have to load the image Texture separately and match it with GetTexture() / GetTextureCount() data

I'll have to look into it :)

Off Topic: Do you have a mailing list or some other support channel to ask questions? Thanks

from assimp.

Yes - if there is embedded textures. they are referenced as *<someNumber> paths from the texture entries in the material. If such an entry does not exist, though, there is also no texture loaded (maybe it is simply not implemented).

There is a mailing list, assimp-discussions - you can signup on our old SF.net page.

I made it print something after loading the .dae file:

08-20 10:25:10.935: D/ASSIMP(14047): [assimp] open file: collada/m11_BBJ94_13WishesDollAsst.dae with pMode: rb
08-20 10:25:16.211: D/ASSIMP(14047): [assimp] Scene has been loaded

[assimp] scene has materials
and
[assimp] scene has meshes

are printed because HasMaterials() and HasMeshes() returned true

instead this:
[assimp] Scene with 0 animations, 0 cameras, 0 lights, 1 materials, 1 meshes, 0 textures

is printed by using mNum...Whatever... elements

Ah sorry, I was confused by the above comment on embedded textures. This texture is obviously not embedded, but given as an external reference. Get the material from the scene and get the AI_MATKEY_DIFFUSE_TEXTURE(0) property on it (aiString). This gives you the path!

@acgessler ah! thanks!

I was looking at the doc here: http://assimp.sourceforge.net/lib_html/structai_scene.html but couldn't find this reference.

I loaded it in a different way now but good to know! marked it for later use!

ps: I subscribed to the ml and asked my question, thanks!

from assimp.

I think this can be closed as it wasn't a bug at all :)
Just me don't understanding what HasTextures() was for
