Hi everyone,

I'm having a lot of trouble getting the textures to work in crysis. I
place them on the objects in sketchup, but when they export across, my
entire object just turns grey. I've tried applying them before/after
they're made into a component, and have made sure there are no spaces/
symbols in the texture names.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hannah,

I encountered the same problem. What file format is your texture?
Initially I used .tga but that kept making my textures inverted so I
converted them into .jpeg and it worked fine. Hopefully this helps!

Hi,
Yeah, try jpeg first, and also i found that you must apply textures to
ALL surface of one component, then you can change the size of that
texture to whatever you want. but i tried just apply texture to one
face of a component, it NEVER works, by applying to all faces it
always works. Also i tried edit component and then apply texture, that
way it won't work as well, you must apply texture, then make to
component or make it component, then apply the whole component.
hope this helps, and if it still won't work, try a new sketchup file.

Hey,
I've just checked - my files are jpegs. I also created a new object,
made it a component, painted my new texture on..but when I exported
it, the same issue remains.
I'll keep trying..hopefully I'll figure it out soon :S
Thanks for your help though.

I'm having the same problem. I'm going to try breaking up my sketchup
image into three sections, and applying one texture to one component
of each section, then exporting them seperately and joining them up in
Crysis. I'll let you know if this works.

Rule Number One- one Texture per each Component.
Number Two - make sure the Surfaces on the Component are
facing out, i.e. the white side.
I would say that these two things are the main reasons i did not get
Textures to work at the start.
But I am not sure if this is your problem.
