Hello everyone, I just had grome and I test it, it's really a good logicial.
My main problem is about the textures. I've made a map in Grome and I exported this for 3Dsmax.
The model is correct, no problem at the export, but I've a problem for the texture. 3Dsmax don't understand them. So I've tried many things and export, but when I export in PNG format, the land texture have deformations. I tried to make many unwrap in 3Dsmax but that don't works well.
Have you any information, solutions or tutorials for this?
(Thanks to read/respond me, and I'm sorry because my english is not so good, I'm french.) |

Hi,
Can you post more info of your problem? Please post information and screenshots about:
- Your scene in Grome (how many layers of textures, what types of layers (shading)).
- What exporter are you using and with what options?
- Screenshots of your scene imported in 3DS Max (to see how your deformation issue looks).
One way to export for 3DS Max is to use the Collada exporter. But in Collada you cannot represent multiple layers of terrain textures. So you can collapse your layers into one single image (but you loose some resolution). General exporter can do that for you or if you are using Grome SDK to create your own export you can use iTerrainZone::Snapshot function.
Another way to export is the General exporter, save the heightmap as RAW and import it (using another importer) in 3DS Max.
For texturing, you can try to use multiple layers of textures but you will need to create special materials in 3DS Max to represent them. One such material is the Composite material (but it is able to represent only Masked Texture Grome layers). Another solution is a DirectX FX material but you need to have knowledge about shaders.

I see.
So you basically baked the texture into a single image?
It seems that the only problem with this approach is that the texture appears rotated. Is this correct?
Also, did you fixed it by applying rotation around w in 3DS Max?
Can you also try to see if another COLLADA viewer sees the texture correct?
I will do some tests myself now and see what happens.
