Hi, I am looking to import to Arkio using Rhino with a texture applied to the surface of a city map (from UK 'OS mastermap' type). Ideally it would look something like your demo/tutorials model spaces. 

However, on trying this is doesn't render correctly, only this strange red glowing thing. Is there a specific texture format needed?  

something like this?             (*needs better alignment)

Regards,

Lucas

  Hi Lucas,

  It looks like something is going wrong with that map texture. Is the map a loaded PDF, background image, or made as a Rhino surface with a normal material? It looks like a pretty high-resolution image so this might result in some issues or take a long time to load.

  You can test if a texture can be correctly exported from Rhino by opening the exported files at \Documents\Arkio\Import\Rhino\ folder to see if the texture and the OBJ model can be loaded. You can also export your scene to FBX or another format and opening the file in eg. Blender or 3Dstudio Max to see if the texture comes in there or if there is an Arkio or Rhino issue.

  I'm happy to look into how to fix this issue if you could share with us the Rhino file at hello@arkio.is
