thank you very much!
I've also noticed how Lightwave's wrl files are always a bit larger than others.
I find no feature for no-animation, but it may be tied to the frame range.
I'll try 0-0.
I have also tried loading the wrl files into meshlab and accutrans, downloaded both last night.
accutrans allowed me to create a wrl file that embeds the image (very cool!!)
but the file was enormous with an uncompressed image embedded.
The color png was 4096x4096 as well, I simplified an object's multiple maps down to one big atlas UV.
But again I couldn't get the website to read the colors, I'm thinking the site's software needs to find a file path to find the colors.
Or I may have exceeded resolution limitations?
I'm certain there must be a limit, 4K may be too large.
Both Meshlab and Accutrans allowed me to create a x3d file.
I decided to try the x3d format, since it also supports colormaps.
Accutrans wants to create a subdirectory to store a copy of the color png for its exported file.
Shapeways says this isn't allowed, and I couldn't find the option to disable.
I did open the x3d in worpad and deleted the folder name in the file path
I believe the line was:
<ImageTexture url='"\Images-v015_with_textures\uv_image_1.png"'/>
I changed it to:
<ImageTexture url='"single-atlas_.png"'/>
still didn't work. I admit I'm not ver code savvy.
Meshlabs x3d had no image file path to be found.
I'm uploading both in case anybody can point me in the proper direction.
I'm very new to both apps, and their functions in correcting the mesh bugs.
Thanks to all of you in advance
Dave
