• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Question about 3D Studio file exporting problem

Hello all

I am wondering what's wrong with some 3D Studio files that our friend Tom Woods shared with me. He is using Inivis AC3D for modeling and I am using 3ds max 2010.

When I import the meshes, all seems to be damaged and out of scale. This is strange, because he have my former files in the same format.

Any commentary in this regard, would be appreciated.
I advance, thank you.
Sergio.
 
Hey Sergio,

I have seen this happen with importing objects created in Poser and in Daz3d. Try exporting from his in a different format and see if that works better.

For some reason, my Max 2014 hates OBJ files, but works great with other formats. OBJ's will be totally unwelded, have some issues with smoothing, scaled HUGE, etc.
 
Hello Bill

Thank you very much for the reply. Also, I noticed that for some reason where it supposted to be a single vertices, the export creates a loop of vetices!
Regarding scale, this time is exactly the opposite; super tiny little pieces!

In any case, this is really appreaciated. Thank you very much.
Happy Easter.
Sergio.
 
Yep, no problem.

I noticed that for some reason, they will export fine from one 3D engine in one format, and will export fine from a 'different' 3D engine in a 'different' format. Once you know which formats to export from, you are good to go. A real hassle having to rescale.

Happy Easter!
