Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
So i've ripped a car model from csr racing 2 and the program that exports the model, exports as .fbx. I import the .fbx into 3ds max and the model looks perfect. When I go to export as .obj it crashes. But when I edit as poly the model's smooth mesh surface turns low poly with no smooth surface. Yes its already low poly… -

Tried that but no luck :/ , maybe its an issue with the exported fbx file that the previous program exported. -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
Yeah pretty much anything I do to modify the mesh just shits on it. I'm gonna check the export tools I used before hand to see what version they support. I'm gonna try an older version of csr racing. Thanks for the help guys! -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
It was more than likely had its normals edited in another program, or possibly max, but as soon as you add a edit poly modifier, max will bust all the normals. Try add an edit normal modifier on top, and break all normals, collapse all to an editable poly and try redo smoothing groups. Additionally, export and reimport as… -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
Editable Poly doesn't support certain topologies. For example a fin extruded from an edge in the middle of a surface. That fin can't be welded to the surface, the vertices have to be detached. Editable mesh however does support that. Trouble is, Editable Mesh allows you to really fuck up your model if you're not careful.… -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
Okay so I've got somewhere but still curious to why it doesn't stay perfect when going to poly mode. I'm still trying to fix small details. I wonder if there is a way to rebuild the mesh as one so that all those isolated polygons and overlapped faces will disappear. -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
I know sometimes I get fbx files from Blender that refuse to load in Max, and vice versa too. But you can load the file in Max. I would suggest you enable Backface Culling, Reset Xforms, Collapse, use Edit Normals to reset the vertex normals, use Editable Poly to remove floating vertices, and remove unused UV vertices. You… -

Of course, it's in vertex sub-object mode of editable poly/edit poly modifier. -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
Ill give that a shot when I get back home. Can I even weld vertices without having a modifier? -
Re: Need help with 3ds max smoothing and crashing on export
It could also be breaking the vertices into duplicates where there are hard edges? Try selecting all vertices and welding with a low tolerance.
