My polys turn green when I export them!?!?!?

[amurayi]

When I export my polygon objects as GE2 or RTG all faces turn green and my textures seem lost..

What's going on here?

You'l probably also find that they won't render. I had the same thing when importing objs and 3ds from Max. The problem is actually really very easy to fix. For some reason, the UV cooridinates have not been brought in, so you need to apply a new UV mapping, that's all.

applying a new UV mapping for a lowpoly model is a quite tedious task... I don't find that too easy...
and I can see the UVs at the right spot in the Texture View even though the faces of the polyobject are green.

Seems UV to Face connection gets lost, hm?

How do I easyily reconnect them without remapping every face?

This is Maya's way of letting the user know that this object wil not render (like the Use Background Shader).

I've never used those formats, but OBJs support UVs between packages, so those might too. If you see the correct UV layout, it's fine...just retexture it using the existing UV set with your image or whatever you had before, and that should be it.

"God saves those who save often..." - me.

it has nothing to do with UVs.. its because the polys does not have a shader applied to them. just go to hypershade and drage a shader onto your polys. if the polys does not have UVs it should display in the viewport as if its half transparent
