[Solved] 3D-Coat Crashes when loading certain models

[Endrit]

Hello

 

My 3D-Coat works fine overall, however for certain models the app crashes, could anyone help me out?

Subdividing the model helps, but the uv's end up all scrabmled, and the model isen't the same then.

I have added the models to this thread.

 

Best regards,

Endrit

Hi !

3DC is very sensitive to nGons. 

Your model have some ? try converting first to ngons before import.

Hope this help

There were some unconnected points in that object. I threw that geo into a fuse SOP in Houdini, with a radius of 0.05 (to merge any points together within that radius) and I was able to import it to 3DC without any visible damage to the mesh. At least, I couldn't tell if there was any:

UVs look fairly intact too:

The curious thing is that I was able to open it in both: NVil and Houdini without any crashes. Perhaps it's worth investigating?

Would you mind uploading the new model if you still have it?

Of course, but I don't guarantee that the radius of point fuse was optimal. So unwanted points might have got affected too, and in result - the geometry where there was a higher density of points might be have been deformed. I don't have time to tweak it further though.

Here's the fixed geo:

Thanks a lot man! I'm only a texturing artist, so I don't really know how to fix it myself. For other models what would you suggest me to do to fix it the fastest way possible? I suppose I would install houdini and do the same u did?
