(Also be warned that uploading seems to be a bit broken since
last night's update to the site software, there have been several complaints about spurious errors in the forums already)]]> mkroeker 2013-01-24T18:10:38-00:00 Re: How do I upload a wrl file with a texture? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60698&th=12537#msg_60698 Search for the text ".jpg"

You will see something like this:
texture
ImageTexture {
url "brick.jpg"
}

make sure that the "url" does not contain a path. it should NOT look like this:
url "c:\users\myname\desktop\brick.jpg"

if it does, you need to remove the part in green, making it just
url "brick.jpg"

Then place the WRL and the texture both into a ZIP file that has NO internal folders.]]> stonysmith 2013-01-24T18:24:25-00:00 Re: How do I upload a wrl file with a texture? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=65963&th=12537#msg_65963
