I updated the tutorial : http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=277
Hope it's more clear now

Its ok, and thx for being willing to create and share such a great engine.

My french is really out of date, so we could share horror stories Im sure

I think that, http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=277, could be alot more clear about whats supported and not. Nowhere on the page does it say, only the green boxed in areas are directly supported , and yes I did wonder what was meant by , , which is noted at the texture slots spot.

Regardless, I'll take a look on forum where you referred to the custom shader, though I don't know how far I will get, given Im not a coder , short of real basic things.

Maratis materials are not working exactly the same as Blender,
the exporter supports only what is in green here : http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=277
Complex materials needs a custom shader, there is some shaders in the link I sent before that are close.
It seems a bit complicated to write shaders at first, but it's very powerful.
I'll try to do a terrain example one day to propose a basic pipeline.

I dont' know how to answer this honestly...Im blending textures, but nothing like a brick wall; as noted in my prior post, Im using a rock base texture, grass and sand, with a stencil map inbetween first two textures, as seen here:

http://vimeo.com/15679785 < That is what Im doing , except Im doing it with 3 total textures, and using blender 2.63a, not 2.5.

I think what I need is something Ive seen on forum before, which is creating a shader ( custom ) as you referenced, for up to 8 textures, and since im using 5 ( 2 stencil maps are part of that 5) I guess I'd need that one ?

cheers

It depend on the result you want, but a custom shader is generally the best, are you trying to blend textures for a terrain like this ?

You can also use the FixedRenderer in Maratis with a multi-texture material, but it's more limited as it's using an old technology (no shaders).

I am already linking to the textures in blender, where I start with rock.png, add stencil, another texture, stencil and last texture, then I start to texture paint, so no, Im not using diffuse specuolar normal emit at all, at least not here .

I am therefore using 'fixed', but I am doing a multitexture mesh, multitexture being that Im using textures and applying to mesh via texture painting; I presume that is what you mean by multitexture in maratis GUI ?

So if I understand right, to get this to show right in Maratis, I need to create custom shader, so that means I should choose customshader in maratis gui as well...

thx

In Blender, link to the textures that are in the maps/ folder of your project,
then export again and the link should be ok.
Also, be sure that you are following this if you are using the standard material :
Or if you don't follow this, you will need to use a custom shader.

Object has been exportered with no errors, so thank you for the fix Anael.

I loaded my island.mesh into Maratis, but its black, no textures, and to be safe, I placed copies of all 3 textures I used to create the model, into the maps DIR.

Any ideas whats up ?

thx

Any idea why blender creates a blank stencil1 ?
All tutorials I've seen, require you to place a stencil inbetween all textures for texture painting to work.

Ok, I got your file,
the problem is with 'Stencil1" in the material textures list, it is not linked to any image.

I'll make a fix in the script so it still export the whole mesh when there is no image,
but for now, you can just select an image in "Stencil1", or remove "Stencil1".

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
I just sent you a DROPbox URL, where the temp.blend file is.

How do I add a file to a post ?
I know of no other way to get it to you, short of some method not forum related.

I'm not able to reproduce it, can you send me a simple blend file that doesn't export ? thank you.
