Defect in Carrara export? - Polyloop

bigkahuna · 4th December 2004, 04:21

Hi,

I've been playing with the Amapi Designer 7 demo and when exporting a .car file, the model has a "defect". Both times I scaled and deformed a NURBs sphere. Both times the model looked perfect in AD7, but both exports had something wrong with them when imported into C7Pro.

If you give me an email address, I can send you the .car file.

I have the same problem, and maybe could be some limitations with the demo, I cannot upload any car file created with the Designer demo into Carrara 3, don't know why.

I just installed the "full" version of Amapi 7 tonight. I'll give it another try with the full version and see what happens...

So ok, we can see an artefact ... but on wich part of your model ? After made what ? On wich computer, ... ?

Please just post the file, or the part of file. We cannot help you and improve software if we do not have any kind of information.

My system:
Sony Vaio AMD Duron 900 MHz running Windows XP SP2.

Model description:
Created with Amapi Designer 7 (demo version). Took a NURBS sphere, rescaled it, then deformed it to a surfboard shape. Exported it to a .car file. File can be downloaded here (about 80 kb): http://www.pmudesign.com/downloads/longboard02.car

Incidently, this was the second model created in this exact same way (although the mesh settings might have been different). The first had, at least in the demo version of Carrara, a single face with a flipped normal. But now that I look at that same model in the full version of Carrara, the model appears to be OK.

Hope this helps,

Paul
