Frustrated with import & post import process

[Turner]

Ok - I AM watching tutorials, and looking through videos, but am not successful in finding the answers to resolving some "starter" issues I'm having.

 

Well... while it's great fun to paint the robot model I simply cannot seem to get a "clean" model into 3DC.

 

I'm just quickly modeling some test things in formZ, and trying different export options, and every model I bring in has odd, facet-based smoothing (or seems to) instead of a planar result.

 

Here's a screenshot of the import that kinda looks like it's about to melt down...

 

Not sure what I'm doing wrong... 

 

.obj attached too (no materials in file)
building.obj

 

thanks,

Andrew

I'm assuming you are trying to import into the Sculpt Room...which is where you would import to model/sculpt and import into the Paint room for texture painting.

Check auto smooth on import.

 

Can you try this please?

Hi guys-

 

AbnRanger - In fact I watched that exact video early this morning!

 

Michael - Ding! That seems to have done the trick. Will look more into it.... The model seems to import properly.

 

Thanks to you both!!

Glad we could help.
