export problem with 3ds max

bcottage

I am currently modeling a weapon and decided to model the scope in a separate file.
After exporting the scope and import it into max i get this weird problem when i use turbosmooth...



All verts are wealded.

Looking forward to your answers!

To me it looks like you got two meshes in one area. Could you show us the wire?

here is the wire



Its defiantly one mesh. The annoying thing is that i have NO problems atall with it....intill i use turbo smooth.

I obv have to use tb to make the high poly so atm i have hit a wall .

Throw on a STL check? takes care of most problems. Also check for leftover edges when zoomed in tight.

Yeah, it looks like you got some issues there, though I'm not 100% if its model or just the viewport that might be glitchy. You should try and export both the high and low mesh and import them into XNormal and look at them in their 3d viewer, see if it does the same with the weird shading, just to see if its an issue with your 3ds max.

But before that, a little trick you can try as well, which often works with weird isse, is to take your model, remove the turbosmooth, then create a box and with the box, attach your model, and then delete the box polygons.

STLCheck= no errors

Attaching box then deleting polygons = doesnt work

Its almost like you cant urbosmooth a imported model

I could just model the scope again but i kinda would like to fix this so i know for future reference.

FIXED IT!

I applied a symmetry modifier to it -> editable poly -> deleted the origional model = looks kinda fixed -> applied another symmetry modifier (so now the symmetry is the same as when it started) -> FIXED!

McGreed

When you did the attach thing, did you attach the model to the box, or the box to the model? Because the trick wouldn't work unless you attach the model to the box (attach old geo to new geo)

bcottage

the attach thingy simply didnt work either way

Now im getting this when i turn off wireframe mode..

the reset thing worked just perfect

Thankyou guys for all your help
