Importing Files - Polyloop

Evil Quail · 4th January 2007, 00:31

What am I doing wrong. I just want to import an OBJ file into Hexagon 1.0 and all it does is just set there trying to load, then a internal error message would appear. The OBJ file is from 3dmax 8. Also I have a drawing I created and saved as a jpeg in Photoshop 7 I would like to use as a guide to create an object in Hexagon, that to just sets there trying to load. Help please.

At a guess i'd say it is the way 3dmax 8 puts the obj file together, i have tried numerous times and it always fails, but i can import obj from other formats without any problems.
With your screen shot go to your scen tab and select properties then just browse to where your jpeg picture is and load it in. Dont forget to check the little box to whichever plane your loaded your pic in, this will make it visible then.

Hope thiis helps
