blender texturing for collada/away3d

so i have a little project where i want to make a simple 3d model of a chair and bring it into flash. one of the textures will be able to be swapped in and out.

in order to do this, i will export from blender into the collada format. in away3d, i will then import it with the Collada Loader class.

here's how the blender bit can be done:


1. unwrap your model. simply press U and select unwrap

2. swap to the image window (shift f10)

3. with the faces selected that you wish to texture, go to image > open

4. load your image in and move it around until happy.

5. export to collada, file > export > COLLADA 1.4

6. you may need to edit the collada file image paths to be relative to the swf
