[3DSMax]Carrara will not open this file? - Polyloop

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 04:57

OK I modelled in Hex 1.21. Exported .car.. Tried to open.. error could not execute.... Reopened file in Hex and exported .car... Carrara still will not open it.. Even import turns up nothing.

Could someone else see if you can open it...
I did export from Hex 3ds and that would open in Carrara

Doesnt open for me either way. Obj also works fine

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 05:07

Here is the Hex file... try and export and open if you do not mind...

Hi corndog already downloaded it and it doesnt work for me either, I tried all the things you did ie exporting from hex 1.21 as car. It just gives me nothing if I import or an error if I try to open in C5pro.

If you collapse the dynamic geometry of the object Carrara will import it...

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 05:12

Weird I collapsed and resaved under a different name and still no luck ??

danilo.massa · 31st January 2006, 05:21

Strange ... If I collapse your first "body reemer 2nd01.hxn" file and export to Carrara it work fine, if I use your second file instead Carrara do not import anything ... IMHO is a bug ... but I am not able to tell if is Carrara or Hexagon that has a problem ...

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 05:23

WOW that is really strange.. I will submit both files.
Ty for for having a look at this guys.

I collapsed the DG and now it imports fine into C5. I noticed even though I had Hex default set at no DG the file still had DG control curves which needed to be collapsed.
You learn something new every day

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 05:31

hmm you were able to open after collapse ??
I was not..weird

Corndog · 31st January 2006, 05:36

OK I just created another model with full DG and exported to .car
Carrara opened it no problem.
Collapsed opened no problem..
Oh well

In fact, your model have a very bad topology. You welded two different parts which are not well connected, do a lot of boolean operations and a lot of polygones are blended (the bottom of the model)
That's why a model like this can have problemes exporting in another software (and not only Carrara...)

Good to know.
Live and learn. Thanks for having a look at that for me.
