Adding a Texture to an Object

[CounterParry]

How would you draw the model with the texture? I looked though the guide and seen no examples except for skyboxes. Is there no setTexture command for Model?

function lovr.load()
  model = lovr.graphics.newModel('head.obj')
  tex = lovr.graphics.newTexture('head.png')
end

function lovr.draw(pass)
  pass:setShader('normal')
  pass:draw(model, 0, 1.7, -30, 10, lovr.headset.getTime() * .25)
end

The easiest way is to export your OBJ with a MTL file (it defines the textures to apply to the model, lovr will use that and automatically load all the textures and material properties).

If that isn't possible, you can use Pass:setMaterial:

function lovr.load()
  model = lovr.graphics.newModel('head.obj')
  tex = lovr.graphics.newTexture('head.png')
end

function lovr.draw(pass)
  pass:setMaterial(tex)
  pass:draw(model, ...)
end

This approach doesn't work with complicated models that have multiple meshes and materials, since it applies the same texture to all the parts of the model. But for simple models it works okay.
