Problems when exporting

FIRE1BULL · 3 Mar 2008, 15:59

Best,
Last time i've been trying to export from sketchup to 3DS Max/IrrEdit,
tough my objects are invisble in both programs...
The model is also invisible when importing back to SU, i tried
".3ds" and ".obj" files, both fail...
I find it very weird, because it worked for me before...
These are my settings:

EDIT:

Tough...
It's maybe for a new game project i'm starting...
Now i've been testing again with 3DS Max... but not in IrrEdit.. and if I can't see it in IrrEdit i won't be able to see it ingame either
I've also exported it than from 3DS Max, with no result
Let's see of reinstalling SU for the third time will help...

Your mesh is there, if you notice the poly count, the error is the textures are absent, try texturing the mesh and it will appear.

Hmm...
Tried on severall models with several filetypes (jpg, png, bmp)
No succes, i've also imported a model of 123.560 poly's, usually
it takes some seconds to load the model into the editor, but now it
just says the polycount and nothing more

EDIT:
Tough... it's very very weird... I've done it a hundred times before...
now it doesn't work that well...

EDIT2:
Someone else of the team has tried to put something ingame in the game engine we're going to use, with no succes... the same problem there:

Everything fine in 3DS Max...

Also eveyrthing seems to be fine in MeD (Map Editor, mapped on 0.0.0)

When teleported to the right location (0.0.0) nothing to see there

I know your having trouble with your 3d but there have been problems with 2d in the recent past, and I wonder if its related.

Some like me updated Sketchup recently, but somehow installed the free version, even though our computers said it was the pro version, and then I started to get some strange behaviour.

http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6498 , and there is also mention of 3D problems

Here is another link I found on 3D export problems.
