Hey guys!
Before I start, excellent engine! I've enjoyed playing with it so far.
Alas, I have a little trouble with what I can only deem to be an exporting problem from Blender.
I am attempting to render a simple subdivided plane with a texture.
I have tried both the Collada converter and the Blender python exporter for Horde3D and the result is the same,
the mesh renders but the texture isn't applied properly. However when I try a mostly blue texture the mesh appears blue. A largely red texture colours the mesh some shade of red. I can only assume this is a problem with how uv coords are being generated (or not at all perhaps) for the mesh. Any ideas how to remedy this?
Regards,
Stewart.

It is notoriously difficult to UV map using Blender, but there are quite a few tutorials on the web, so google if you get stuck. First off though, I would check that your mesh in blender does in fact have UVs attached (you don't need UVs to apply a texture in Blender, but it wont export properly without).

I also guess that your UV mapping is not done using Flat UV Coordinates but with some of the other possibilities like Cube/Sphere, Stick / Orco options. That may be a problem. I think using flat UV Coordinates you have placed using the UV/Image Editor of Blender should be fine.

Cheers guys,
worked a treat when I actually played with the UV editor for 20 seconds.

Stew.
