I am confused all the get Methods which return a SimpleVector for the Object3D are not the ones i am looking for nearly all are 0,0,0,0

I just want to get the Position or Translation (the getTranslation Method does not work for me its 0,0,0,0) of an Object created in Blender and saved as .3ds file

In Blender for example a created cube is at 4,5,1 so how can i get this position after loading it into jpct-ae?

The getName() Method works nicely so i just want to get the Name and the position so i get something like :
"Cube001 at (4,5,1)"

SOLVED

Hello it is me again

Thanks to the help of Egon i applied textures to my .3ds object and load it successfully into android

now i got another question i have read all the posts about multitexturing but i still have a question about it

In some posts its said that .3ds doest not support multi texturing but there is also said that you can apply multiple textures by using the TExtureManager with the rigth names

so what do i have to do?

Do i have to load my model splitted up by texture like one .3ds file for the roof with the roof texture
 another .3ds for the wall with the wall texture

and then merge them together

or

do i have to apply all the textures on one .3ds model and use the texture names for the texture manager??

i tried it using the texturemanager but i am not getting it to work the textures are not showed at all

so what is the best way and maybe some explination code would help
thank you

this is my code right now

try {
Texture teppich=new Texture(assetManager.open("teppichHems.jpg"));
Texture decke=new Texture(assetManager.open("StyroporDecke.jpg"));
Texture wand=new Texture(assetManager.open("WandBlech.jpg"));

TextureManager.getInstance().addTexture("Texture.001", teppich);
TextureManager.getInstance().addTexture("Texture", decke);
TextureManager.getInstance().addTexture("Texture.002", wand);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}


    try {
model = Loader.load3DS( assetManager.open("thirdfloorAndroid.3ds"), 1);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi Guys
I have found the Blender Scene Exporter and used it and tried the SampleScene it worked just fine
But when i try to export my own Scene it gives an error and there are no files in the /texture folder and no xml file like there was in the sampleScene

the error is in the descreption need your help

the exported scene is a .blend file and is in a single folder in which is also a /Texture folder with the texture

it is only 1 .jpg texture 450 KB so i dont get why it should give erros cause nothing is diffrent to the sample scene i am just using point ligths

the error should be at the textures cause it seems like there is a problem to generate the list or so

the script is the script made by andresjesse

can be found at https://github.com/andresjesse/jpctblend/tree/master/blender%20python%20exporter

i think the tex is not put into the list but i dont get why maybe it is not getting a name but in blender it is added to an material and named in floorMat (Material) and floor (Texture) it is applied by an uv map so i think i have done everything like it should be

ps the last line says : location: <unkown location>:-1

Hi Guys,
I am currently working on a Project but my problem is i got a big file cause it is a building for a game to move in. I serialized it and now zipped it also cause i had a outofmemory exception but the loading from the zip file doesnt work here is the code

ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.ab));
//            try {
//            if(zis.getNextEntry() != null)
//               zis.getNextEntry();                                                               tried this already
//            } catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
            model = Loader.loadSerializedObject(zis);
            
//         model.calcTextureWrapSpherical();
//            model.setTexture("texture");
            model.strip();

            model.scale(10);
            model.build();
            
            world.addObject(model);


the exception i get is: (im not getting whats actually wrong here so i ask you guys)

Systemerr:
java.lang.NullPointerException at com.threed.jpct.DeSerializer.deserialize(DeSerializer.java:61)
                                       at com.threed.jpct.Loader.loadSerializedObject(Loader.java:104)
                         at and.testandroid.JPCTAESkeletonActivity$MyRenderer.onSurfaceChanged(JPCTAESkeletonActivity.java:197)
                                           at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.guardedRun(GLSurfaceView.java:1325)
                                      at android.opengl.GLSurfaceView$GLThread.run(GLSurfaceView.java:1116)

so i get this fatal error
java.lang.RuntimeException: [ 1411066378308 ] - ERROR: Can't deserialize object: null

i know that the loader seems not to load the file correctly but why?
file is located in res/raw/ab.zip/ab.ser
so what am i missing here that it cannot be loaded?

i serlialized the object with that code
Object3D model = null;
        String modelName = "ab";
     //   TextureManager.getInstance().flush();


       //TextureManager tm = TextureManager.getInstance();
       //Texture grass2 = new Texture("C:/Worksapce/SaveMe/res/raw/f15e.jpg");
        DeSerializer de = new DeSerializer();
        model = model.mergeAll(Loader.load3DS(new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Jascha/documents/3DObjects/"+modelName+".3ds"), 1));
        model.build();
        de.serialize(model, new FileOutputStream("C:/users/Jascha/documents/3DObjects/serialized/"+modelName+".ser"), true);

code worked fine with small models and without zip

Thank you for your help
