Member fineartist Posted November 4, 2015 Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi there, I just tried to paint some simple textures and color on my model and when I bring it into Lightwave from 3D Coat and hit tab to smooth the model, I get a weird problem, every poly has a freakish blend to it (see attached). I'm not sure if it's a Lightwave bug or a 3D Coat bug, but if anyone has a answer on what to do or try, I would greatly appreciate it. I attached both the un-smooth and smoothed set from Lightwave so you can see the difference. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member fineartist Posted November 4, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yes. Here is the UV from both 3dcoat and Lightwave . Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 could you share the obj too ? i dont see very well on the pics, but look as some uv_islands overlaped... Paint room > surface paint how many sp groups are ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fineartist Posted November 4, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Would the .lwo work? If I make it a .obj file, maybe it would not be broken the way how it is in Lightwave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 lwo is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fineartist Posted November 4, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I just tried to upload it, but the file attach message comes up that it can't upload the file format. When I get home, I'll upload the 3b file so maybe you can see from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 yes, try to upload a .zip or dropbox link or google drive link could be useful too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosan Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi Cant find any problem loading your model in 3DC or Blender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fineartist Posted November 5, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi carlosan, In blender, can you put any texture onto him and see if he's wiggling out texture wise. In light wave, if I look at him in simple wire shade he looks fine, it's when I look at him in texture mode that all the wiggling out happens. In light wave forum someone thinks it could be a vertex map that generated that is causing this so I'll take a Look soon. I really appreciate you trying to help me!

Carlosan Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 No wiggling in Blender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member fineartist Posted November 5, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 It has to be a setting in Lightwave that is causing the problem.... Thanks again Carlosan for your help! Your awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
