How to export a vrml with LS?

[Gonzalo A]

I want to export a VRML file with shadows and textures.
When I view the vrml file I can only see textures, but no shadows. I use GLVIEW as vrml browser because it support vrml1 and vrml2.
Well, in glview I can see the file with textures, but it looks very hard because it has no shadows. As LS can only export in vrml1, I can change the file to vrml2 with glview. When I change to vrml2 something weird happens......I can´t see textures, but now I can see raytraced areas and soft shadows.(It looks more "realistic"....but it could be much better with textures)

How can I have a vrml file with textures and shadows?

I have tryied with mesh to texture, but I really don´t know how to do it....

Please, I will appreciate a lot if someone here knows how to do this and could explain it to me....

ThanX

OK. I use the "Mesh to texture" and now I have the vrml file with shadows and textures...
I can view it in my computer with no problem...., but the thing is that I need the files in another computer.

I tryied to view the files in another PC but now I can´t see the textures.

I´m new in this, and as far as I know, I can view textures in my computer, because LS has the path to the folder where I saved textures.


Well, I copy this files and put them in the other PC, but still can´t view textures.

What I don´t understand is that when I export the VRML file (in my computer), the system asumes that the texture path is in that PC,so if I take the vrml file and the textures folder to another PC, the VRML file won´t have textures because it doesn´t know the path....

Is that right?
Please..If you know something, or a tip on how to do this in the correct way, I will appreciate a lot.
ThanX.

since the vrml file is a text file, you can view it in a textediter, and set the right path location manually using find/replace.
