SOLVED: DDO doesn't create albedo + 3DO artifacts on launch

Utility

Currently, when I try to load my new project into DDO, I get shown a blank (grey) albedo. I can't seem to add anything to it, and when I try to load 3DO, it immediately artifacts and doesn't display my model. I've had numerous problems with the Suite since I started using it last year, and none of the workarounds I usually use work. My model's triangulated and none of my maps should cause any problems. With Photoshop CC 2014, it loads as previously described (blank albedo, DDO artifacts). With Photoshop CS5, I get an error ("8800: General Photoshop error"). When I try to load up one of the example projects (AKS), it works fine in both versions of Photoshop, but it always artifacts in CS5. I'm about to pull my hair out. I know you guys are working on Suite 2.0 but I hate never being able to just work on something because Suite 1.8 has issues. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's what it the artifacting looks like:

Okay, so after some wrestling I discovered that 3DO artifacts like that with *my* model. I loaded the AKS model into my project, and it loads up in 3DO no problem.

...I have no idea where to go from here. My model's clean and triangulated. It's an .OBJ. What else am I missing here?

Utility

...On a lark I saved my model out from Maya instead of Max and it worked. What the hell?
I guess that's the solution, if anyone's searched and came across this post- don't export your OBJs from Max if you want them to work in Suite.

I'm... I've got to go do something else for a while.

Hey Utility, looks like an interesting bug, could you upload the mesh ? (the version where you get the artifacts)

Utility

Welp, here's what I got after wrestling with it:



Looks okay so far. I'm bewildered as to what the difference is between my OBJs, but whatever. I'm going to play some Metal Gear for a while and internally cry.

Pleasure, sure. It'd be my... pleasure. But also I hope it helps solve some potential issues:

Hey Utility, it appears this is an issue with this particular mesh in 1.8, I can confirm that the Mesh will not load for me in 1.8 it does, however load in 2.0 Since you worked around it by exporting from Maya I would like to set this issue as resolved. It will not be much longer for 2.0 where this issue is fixed. Let me know if you require further assistance.
I have also sent you a private message to make sure the material problem is also resolved.
