Title: Applink combines all objects in one..
Post by: samardac on September 05, 2013, 08:59:32 am

Why when I export model by Applink, I have only one object? I have a lot of objects in scene but it combines them in one when exporting...
I checked in file format option, regroup poligons by meshes, it does not help. How to fix it?

The app exports the selected objects to 3DC. How many objects did you have in the scene and how many are selected?

Hi IStonia,

I see you have not managed to find time to check that yet (Yes, I understand, you have work commitments, so no problem).

I thought I would check and add feedback.


I have currently got 3D-coat V4 installed. I create 2 simple box in Nvil.

Selected both, then sent across link (for UV mapping). [ I also noted there was a lockup in 3D-coat, and it took quite a number of mouse clicks to get the import to actually load. Not a good sign ]
In 3D-coat, those 2 Box are combined as one object:-

On checking the .obj file that is placed in the default link directory. I see that in fact Nvil is combining the 2 Box(objects) on export:-

Code: [Select]

     Vertices: 16
#        Faces: 24
#    Materials: 1

# End of file

I then exported the 2 box as an .obj file, with option to "Regroup Polygons by Meshes"

(http://i.imgur.com/zeOeT2H.jpg)

On importing that into 3D-coat, it shows as being 3 objects:-

I understand that different applications handle .obj files in slightly different ways. I have seen various problems with .obj files exported from Nvil when loading them into other applications, but put that down to the possible different implementations,  however, with you having a "3DC link" embedded in Nvil, I would expect there to be full compatibility with the .obj files between Nvil and 3D-coat.
