Trouble with OBJ's
polycounter lvl 12
Hey guys,
I'm having some complications getting my obj's to appear in 3DS max. It comes into the program invisible and with only a bounding box.
I noticed when I rendered it, that a green high poly would render up. But that doesn't help me to make the low-poly.
Any ideas how I can get it to show up in my viewports?

From what i read here this could simply be something from normals, did you tried to inverse them ? Are vertices still selectable ? Was your mesh imported from an other program or game engine ?
It's should be easy to fix since it's in 3dsmax.
What I do is:
1. Make sure in object properties -> Display Properties -> "By Object" is on, not the "By Layer".
2. "Display as Box" is uncheked
Sometimes toggling these helps:
3ds cannot see the geo in one of them (I cannot remember which one doesn't play nice with 3ds). Just something you should know. How are these .OBJs being created?

@9krausec - I'm exporting it from zbrush as an obj.
@armians - I'll give that a shot. I'll let you know the results.
gLuck!
@ armians - doesn't seem to be the problem. The work continues.
Would a lack of ram contribute to this? It uses 6.5 of my 8 gigs everytime it imports into 3DS max.
If 3ds still shits out then we can rule that it's 3ds max that is the issue, if I cannot get it into Maya then we can point fingers at zBrush.

use "weTransfer" if it's too large.
