ModelView crashes when I try to open my custom model - Orgasmatron - 04-23-2012

So, when i try to use ModelView for the model i made in maya it just crashes.

I have checked the modelview.log and it only says this:

--------------------------------------------------------
Cache out of date! Reloading collada file 'D:/Steam/steamapps/common/amnesia the dark descent/static_objects/Models/Fridge_1970s.dae'
WARNING: No 'extra scene' element found!
---------------------------------------------------------

I have tried to search from these forums, but I didn't find answer to this...

PS. I started modeling yesterday so I'm not so familiar with this.

Make sure you're using the OpenCOLLADA plugin which can be found here - http://opencollada.org/
The default DAE export is known to have issues.

Do you know if the 2.6 Blender has that updated or do I need to patch it to? I've been wondering for awhile why my models lately don't want to work in the ModelView.

I have downloaded the OpenCOLLADA plugin but it may be that I accidentally exported in wrong format.
I'll check it when I get home

I used OpenCOLLADA export but it still saves it as DAE and it won't work on ModelView...



RE: ModelView crashes when I try to open my custom model - Traggey - 04-24-2012

OpenCOLLADAs DAE should work just fine, if you can't get it working you should try re-installing the tools.

Also are you on a legal copy of the game? I've gotten tons of messages from people complaining that custom models don't work for them on their cracked verisions.



RE: ModelView crashes when I try to open my custom model - Orgasmatron - 04-24-2012

That might work Smile And yes, I have a legal copy.



Nope, I re-installed the tools but it still does not work.

Traggey, you wouldn't mind taking a look of my model? If it's not too much trouble? Smile Because I am fairly new to modeling and I'm not sure how to fix the problem if it's on the model itself.

Hmm.. Are you using Maya? If you are:
- Have you loaded OpenCollada?
- Maya has a native collada plugin, in some cases it might be easier to deactivate that and then export using OpenCollada.
- Triangulated mesh?
- Made the model yourself (or an import from something else)?





RE: ModelView crashes when I try to open my custom model - Orgasmatron - 04-24-2012

Yes I use Maya
- I have OpenCOLLADA plugin
- Triangulated mesh
- Made the model completely myself

I'm not really sure how to deactivate the native collada plugin...
