Hello folks,

As the thread title says I’m having problems getting UVs out of XSI and into Unreal. They work for static meshes, and they work when I import from Collada, but when I do a psk export I can’t seem to get it worked out. I don’t know what the requirements are so I’d love to hear any suggestions.
In the case of Collada I’d be happy to use it, but animations that I’ve exported to the psa file no longer work.

Here is the PSK log:
--------------------------------------------
Unreal skeletal exporter for SOFTIMAGE|XSI - Model information for [AirWhale.psk]

Skin faces:  4000
Skin vertices:  2008
Skin wedges (vertices with unique U,V):  2008
Total bone-to-vertex linkups:  5670
Reference bones:  13
Unique materials:  1

[ 3 ] [Jaw_02] ( 2 )
[ 4 ] [Jaw_03] ( 3 )

[ 9 ] [RightFin_01] ( 0 )
[ 10 ] [RightFin_02] ( 9 )
[ 11 ] [LeftFin_01] ( 0 )
[ 12 ] [LeftFin_02] ( 11 )
--------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve attached some images (description from left):
1) What I see after importing the ASE version of the mesh
2) What I see after importing the PSK version of the mesh
3) Both items placed into a test map with my material applied. The ASE version looks correct, and the PSK is pitch black.

I’m using the 64-bit version of XSI. Should I try the 32-bit version?

Thanks.

well no sooner asked then solved!

The problem was that I didn’t have a material assigned to the object that made use of the UVs. I had no idea that was a requirement.
Things appear to be a go now. :)
