Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59221&th=12147#msg_59221 I have been trying to upload to Shapeways a .wrl file with a .jpg texture referenced to the model itself.
I use Maya and exported the 3D file and texture.
Shapeways customer support keeps having trouble either opening the file and/or finding the texture.
Is there something I may be doing wrong? I've done all I know to fix this and need some tech. advice.
Using Maya 2010.

Thanks,

Patrick]]> Patrick3D 2012-12-26T15:35:35-00:00 Re: WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59232&th=12147#msg_59232 denali3ddesign 2012-12-26T16:46:06-00:00 Re: WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59233&th=12147#msg_59233 I zipped each individual file by selecting the wrl file, the rgb file that was created upon export, and the .jpg texture file.
Thanks Marcus]]> Patrick3D 2012-12-26T16:53:07-00:00 Re: WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59235&th=12147#msg_59235 index.php?t=getfile&id=24785&private=0

It should not be double-zipped. Does that make sense?]]> denali3ddesign 2012-12-26T17:24:13-00:00 Re: WRL file with texture not working correctly http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59243&th=12147#msg_59243 The rgb file you mentioned may not be necessary to zip with the wrl and texture file. Try just the wrl and texture.

I hope it is not the infamous wrl coding problem(Shivers)

But I did just upload another archive .zip folder with a new .wrl file and .jpeg file. The rgb file that accompanied the wrl file I was told can be opened in fcheck and saved as a .jpeg..so I did this and will see if this works.
Does anyone know of a free vrml viewer online? I've tried several for my mac but no luck here either. I just want to see on my end if the wrl file opens before I waste my time uploading to Shapeways only to get an error email from CS.
