Need help getting textures to show on 3ds models in Celestia

Post #1by jrobert » 20.05.2003, 04:43

I have a very detailed 3ds model of the Apollo 11 CSM and SM that uses only one texture file. However, I cannot get the texture to show on the model in Celestia. Any suggestions? :?

Hi jrobert...I love your Apollo csm model, it goes very nicely with Doug Gann's lem model. I too am having problems applying textures to models. I want to texture the shuttle model we have at the moment.

There's probably an answer somewhere in the forum...

How are you getting on with your detailed shuttle model? Can't wait to see it!

Regards...bh.

make sure that the texture dimensions are a power of two, ie: 256,512,1024 etc

Hi jrobert,

Look at this post:

Now i'm not sure if this type of texture mapping (one large texture) will work in Celestia but it should.

Bye Jens
