LIGHTUP Help
-
What's the colour channel of the images? I really do not know if it is relevant but when trouble shooting weird things,one tends to think of everything that comes into his mind. I have seen issues with images that are not RGB channel in SU (although I have no idea if it can cause problems in LU)
Edit: Adam beat me but since he's here, at least he can confirm if CMK colours can properly be read.

This I did not know, thanks Adam, ill check it this evening to be sure but normally I only use png format images in sketchup, ill post to see if that is or not the issue
Ill check that also Gaieus just to be sure

Ok the texture was a png and it never worked, to double check i exported the image and converted to png to be sure and had the same issue, but i then converted to a TGA image and it works just fine, still cant understand why the PNG image didnt work
-
What software are you using to convert and make your images? Photoshop? GiMP?
-
Hi Chris, i use GIMP
-
Hmm, I'm not as familiar with that one. I know in photoshop for saving png it gives an option for Interlace - either none or interlaced. Typically none is what I always use. and probably make it an 8bit rgb mode png. That's all I've got. And I don't have lightup experience, just general png usage experience, so its just a guess.

Share the texture to remove the mystery

Perhaps what you've done is export the texture and done "save as" a PNG. Which converts it to a PNG file.
But the embedded Material texture you had before that went red (named "TREE(1).PNG") was actually a jpeg with a misleading extension.
but glad you've resolve it!
