Blender export reveals gap / Lücke im Blender-Export

[Det]

Hi there,
and the next problem I experience: I modelled a sphere with an uv-map in blender. Then exported it to obj and converted with the Convert-Tool to ddd format.

Once I display it I get the result in the attachment: It's got the ugly gap. (2nd attachment shows the original blender result)

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Any idea is helpful

Thanx

And in german (to increase the audience )

Hi,
ich hab mit blender eine Sphere mit einer uv-map drauf gemacht. Wenn ich das mit GLBasic darstelle, dann erhält das Mapping eine Lücke. In blender sieht's richtig aus.
Hat irgendwer eine Idee, was ich falsch mache?

Danke
Det

You tried in 3ds, not in obj...

I presume the gap issue is due to the mesh and irrelevant to the texture or mapping, or perhaps the reverse where the map is short and being transparent but I can not tell because the background is black so it's a guess. What happens when no texture is applied?

Perhpas you have reason Matchy, the texture it's .png... too much better use always .jpg, more quick and nothing transparent... Be carefully if you make a texture graather than 2048 or 4096 I don't remenber well, in GLbasic Windows you can see extrange things...

Ah, always make the textures un power of 2, it's very very faster than use textures whit diferent size and heigth.

Thanks a lot for caring. Too bad, I have to work for a living as well, so I haven't had time to check out all of your proposals. I'll be back later and report the results of my efforts. Stay tuned

It's OK now, I think it was 2 things that made up the error:
- the result was better after I changed the texture to a size a power of 2
- the result became even better with some "handcrafting" done on the uv-mapping.

Thank you very much!

Don't feel so special as we just like 3D and GLB.
