Heya!

I have a problem creating a lamp for TS4. I made a lamp in SketchUp, exported into a .3ds file. edited the vertex paint and placed it into a mesh of TS4 itself. I wanted to see how the mesh looked in TS4, but I got this error message when trying to import it:

hi! i took a look at your blend, and the lamp is subdivided in multiple parts. I don't know how sketchup really works since i used it literally once and gave up. But your object should be all merged into one single group. So try looking at that in your program and then re-export it again. Also you need to change the uv map name on the object data tab (upside down triange). From uvmap to uv_0 (your map is all overlapped so you'll have to edit that aswell)

Also, remember to change the group names to their corresponding ones.. such as s4studio_mesh_0 , 1 and so on.

Heya!!! Thanks for the advice inabadromance ! After -a lot- of trial and error I've finally managed to get the model working. The only problem is that I have a couple of issues wich I haven't been able to solve myself (This is my first ever creation)

Somehow the mesh of the lampshade sides are invisible from the inside, same goes from the bottom wich is invisible from the outside.
There are also a couple of cracks, although my model is smooth (as far as I know)
I also have the issue that the lampshade always seems to emit light.
And the last problem is that the Y offset of the light is negative, so I don't know how to add it in S4S.

Sorry!! I'm new to this, a couple of pointers would be great!

Take a look at a couple of tutorials.

How to Create an RGB Specular for Objects
How to bake a shadow onto your mesh using Blender
How mapping works & how to map & bake a cube

hi! for the inside of the shade you can do this:

(check picture under spoiler)

SPOILER: Click to show

Go into edit mode.
Deselect limit selection and change to edge selection.
Put the lowest number on the start box under view.
While holding ALT, right click on the border of the top of the shade. Do the same with the bottom part.
Press ctrl+e and select "bridge edge loops". Remember to map all that part.

Since this is your first mesh, is understandable to see such number in polygons but i would suggest you next time to reduce the amount of it. There's no need to make things things that "heavy" since it can cause lag on users that don't have good computer.

Heya! thanks for the help, the lamp is -almost- done. There are a few little bugs. I couldn't get the reflection right, so I made the reflection DDS completely black, but the reflections are still there. I've also edited the lampshade, but now it shows a yellow stripe thingy. And lastly the light is not in the center of the lampshade and has a weird stripe through it.

Sorry for all the help I need, I just wanted a lamp like this really bad in my TS4 game. Thanks for all the help so far! :D

hi! your bump map shouldn't be that dark and your specular shouldn't be black but grey.

For the specular to be matte then it has to be black on both main and alpha channel layer. Saved as dxt5 with alpha.
Export the original bump map and fill with the correct color. (alpha channel too)

for the location of the light, i suggest using a similar type of lamp that matches the one you have.

Thanks!! Your tips worked great! This is also useful information if I decide to make more meshes in the future. I'll post a pic here when I get the lighting right, so you can see the endresult. I'll mark this post as solved! :D
