destinorrr · 14th April 2004, 11:28

well i hope you can help me, if you need another image more please say me.

and thanks again to everybody.

i dont know , i have seen other woks in amapi pro amd works perfect with lightwave!!!

First, that cind of modeling, are not really mode for apply a subpatch on it, because topology are no made for this.

Before exporting in obj, colaps all level of DG (dynamic géometrie), but keep the nurbs.
Clic on the smooth tool, and clic on adaptative/crack free option. In the parameter you have some setting for the conversion in polygonal … while do that, switch to polygon for see the result in real time … change the number 20 by defaut in "Max angle" by maybe 10 … validate if your ok.

Non you can collapse your model for make it in polygonal. Then export to obj.

In lw, merge points if needed, and make your render without patch.

you have a perfect shape.

Hugo · 14th April 2004, 14:26

i don't have Silo, but if he can read obj, no matter.

Thomas · 14th April 2004, 17:35

yes, silo Import/Export OBJ.. by the way, if you already have Amapi, I don't understand why you need silo

DAIGORO · 14th April 2004, 20:59

This means that i recieved the Amapi Pro upgrade today.im totally addicted to nurbs modeling,i never thought that this makes so much fun. :love2: :D

Shonner · 15th April 2004, 07:09

Try not to use the Standard NURBs mode. Use the Crack-Free NURBs mode instead.

destinorrr · 15th April 2004, 17:50

DAIGORO · 15th April 2004, 18:26

Here is what Shonner meant(i think) with crack free nurbs.this is what you should use when your want to smooth you model.

Hugo · 15th April 2004, 19:12

that's what i say, use crack free tesselation. Sorry i haven't post the option to clic, but don't be afraid to test other option for see what does they do.

I'm sorry about your crash in LW, i will try my file tonight for see if crash my lw licence.

I hope you have understand the stepd for convert correctly Nurbs to poly … if not, says it, i will do a better tutorial

In the Preferences editor menu, click on the NURBS icon and choose Adaptive And Crack-Free Noibs.

destinorrr · 16th April 2004, 10:15

Thanks again Shonner .....................but noting

Well i think it will be easy to make a objet in amampi pro and render in lightwave but it is not.

Shonner · 16th April 2004, 10:44

If Lightwave can import 3DS format from Amapi 7, you might be in good shape.

The A3P files won't open.

i've try on 6 different computer (2 mac, and 4 pc) all file work.
i've try to import the obj in lw7.5, work fine too.

What's wrong with your computer/software here ?

3ds ? Hum, use the obj, better file format, an lw open it wihtout any problem here …

Shonner · 16th April 2004, 11:35

It works now. I was opening from the macosx folder on a PC. Doah!

destinorrr · 16th April 2004, 11:50
