Topic: Empty Maratis mesh (need help-RESOLVED)

I have a character with clothes in Blender. The character has a jacket and some jeans.

I selected everything in Object Mode, and then i exported it as a maratis mesh. All meshes have textures and UV mapping, but only the character shows up in Maratis, and not the jacket and jeans.

Even when trying to export the jacket/jeans separately, I get a yellow bounding box in Maratis.

I have had this problem before, but I was able to fix it by applying a material in Blender. But this is different I think (Blender is so hard to diagnose).

Did you check the mesh file?

I believe I did, and found no line pointing to the maps for the jacket and pants. Let me check again.

When something does not appear in the Editor, it's not in the .mesh file either. It's a problem of exporting IMHO.

You're right 255, always export issue.
But by checking the materials and textures in the mesh file you can quickly identify the exporting issues and fix them.

Once again same issue. This time it is an animated mesh and only the white ticks show up in Maratis.
First few lines of mesh file:

Re: Empty Maratis mesh (need help-RESOLVED)

Okay I fixed it! WOW! I saw that the opacity value in the file was 0 for whatever reason. Just changed it to 1 and PRESTO!!!
