Built the 3d model and exported it, then I open the mesh with .msh exporter, and instead of showing me the 3d model in a blue bx, it shows me an empty box. Why?

[S3231541]

Can you identify which exporter did you use and which program you use to vew your mesh? Also briefly describe your process would help identify the problem.

[Kilo]

I use Maraz Exporter and MSH Converter

[S3231541]

It is highly possibly caused by wrong input value in config file .cfg. Additionally, best IL-2 mesh viewer is sknil (you can google it). I always personally dislike to use that mesh converter.

Do the contents of the msh file look ok when viewed in a text editor?

[Kilo]

They say that something couldn't be found

[asheshouse]

Post the section of the msh file with the error message.

This is all it shows when opened with notepad.

Post the text from Missile2.cfg

It looks like you have a single LOD identified with a suffix _00

In Max the Object name should be Missile2_00

cfg file should probably be

Code: [Select]

scale_factor 1
n_lods 1
lod_dist 500
lod_type S
lod_prefix _00 
n_coll 0
n_hooks 0
shadow_char none

I normally use a prefix to identify LOD's eg: L0_Missile2 (object name in Max)
cfg then as follows

Code: [Select]

scale_factor 1
n_lods 1
lod_dist 500
lod_type P
lod_prefix L0_ 
n_coll 0
n_hooks 0
shadow_char none

It exports, but as a dwarf shorter version of the object.

[asheshouse]

Before exporting

In Max

Select the object --- then Tools --- Reset XForm -- Reset Selected   (Max9)

Not sure if that will fix it but I have had to do this when part of the object has been modified by using the Select and Scale function.  Check that X Y Z are 100% --- not some other percentage.
