DAE textures not importing after exporting from Blender

Support Materials and Textures

Hi,

I’m having difficulty getting DAE models exported from Blender to import back into Blender with the textures intact. For example, if I

  • use the default cube
  • UV unwrap it and load an image
  • create a new Texture for that material, type ‘Image or Movie’ and select the same image, under ‘Mapping’ set co-ordinates to ‘UV’ and map to the default ‘UVMap’ option
    (I can see the cube textured in Blender)
  • File>Export>DAE, select ‘Include Material Textures’

I’ve also tried all combinations of ‘Include Material Textures’ and ‘Include UV Textures’ but none work.

If I open this file in MeshLab I can see that the cube is textured correctly but if I import it into Blender, the cube has no textures. I can see that the material has a texture and that the texture is set up with the right image but it’s not being applied to any of the faces.

I am using version 2.70a.

Can someone please explain how I can get the textures to be imported back into Blender?

I tried following the steps in that thread. If I switch to GLSL mode I can see the textures on the model but if I select a face and go to UV/Image Editor the image isn’t assigned there. Is there a way to have them appear here as before?

I have attached the .blend file I’m using.
