Thats a nice workaround so i just dont add thrse objects to the world object and they wont be rendered but i can use their positions

Its all in one file bute in that file are multiple objects so when i use the loader class i get an Object3d array of the size 36 so i have to seperate each object to an extra file?

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)"

Ill test it with an logoutput when pressing the buttons location ill get the location the same way like the of the buttons if that wont help ill send you my project Folder but can i do that oer private medsage or do i need your mail cause of size restrictions ?

Shall i send you the .apk or the project folder and how shall i give it to you ?

Hello since im new to Texturing i am gonna need to ask you another question and hope you can help again

i am quiet confused because i worked out how to blit tetures to use them as gui elements and so i implemented 2 buttons with 4 textures 2 per each (one pressed one normal)

everything works fine the emulator shows all the buttons and the clicking effects working nicely

but now i loaded the .apk to my smartphone and i cant see any of the buttons i added i thought blitting is for android
i checked twice if i had exported the rigth way etc i dont know what i am doing false everything runs on smartphone without errors but no buttons are visible


here i add the textures to the texturemanager in the onsurfacecreated method
bhn = new Texture(getAssets().open("Buttons/bhn.png"));
bhp = new Texture(getAssets().open("Buttons/bhp.png"));

bfn = new Texture(getAssets().open("Buttons/bfn.png"));
bfp = new Texture(getAssets().open("Buttons/bfp.png"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(!tm.containsTexture("bhn"))
tm.addTexture("bhn", bhn);
if(!tm.containsTexture("bhp"))
tm.addTexture("bhp", bhp);

if(!tm.containsTexture("bfn"))
tm.addTexture("bfn", bfn);
if(!tm.containsTexture("bfp"))
tm.addTexture("bfp", bfp);
}
and here i blit them in the ondrawframe method

fb.clear(back);
world.renderScene(fb);
world.draw(fb);

//Blitting
fb.blit(tm.getTexture(bh), 0, 0, bhnX, bhnY
,128 ,128 , buttonWidth, buttonHeight, 100, false, null);
fb.blit(tm.getTexture(bf), 0, 0, bfnX, bfnY
,128 ,128 , buttonWidth, buttonHeight, 100, false, null);
fb.display();
i am kind of helpless rigth here because i am new to jpct ae and all that stuff and there is no error output i could watch
i hope you guys can think of a cause for my problem or maybe you had the same so please share your opinions with me

thank you all for your help

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();
}

thanks egon !!!

but now there is another problem

i created the model using blender and everything looks rigth the texture is applied via uv-map and is saved correctly
but when i add the tex onto the model in java and move the camera it gets the effect like a fisheye sorry dont know how to explain it but the tex near to the camera looks like the camera would be a fisheye how can i avoid this?

thanks for your great help and work Egon
