[Papervision3D] ASE model with different color materials?

[jakelewis]

Sounds good Carlos.  Multiple materials per model is certainly the way to go
for a software renderer such as PV3D. Hardware renderers work a lot better
with single texture per model, as they sort for texture. PV3D has to sort
for distance anyway so cache misses due to texture change are always going
to be there.

I don't think we'll go far wrong if the internal organization is similar to
the Collada organization.

  Hey,

  I'm working on Collada MeshGroup import, with multiple objects and
multiple materials per object.

  To do it properly I have implemented transformation matrix on objects and
camera. The projection code has been rewritten to accommodate for this.
Objects and materials will also have names now, so you can refer to them
individually after importing.

  Parsing materials isn't immediate. To start with, I was thinking about
getting a list of materials so you can assign them manually.

  Afterwards, I want to move into full scene parsing, including cameras. The
goal is to be able to render a full animated scene, so there's a lot of work
still to do.

    Carlos,

    I don't know to much about the specifics of the file formats.
    I do believe that .3DS file format lets you have different materials for
    different faces. I have coded a .3DS importer though I simple ignore the
material info
    at the moment. However, I will definitely look at that feature and work
on adding that
    support.

      I suggest you export 'by material'...

      Don't know if that's possible with ASE though...
      If not you can always export to *.3DS which has an option 'by
material'....
      Philippe created a 3DS importer for PaperVision (see item about MD2
      elsewhere on this list).

      Hope this helps!

      Tim
