Metasequiota strpix import problem

bekim · 04-05-12, 17:25

when i export a mesh from dxf. file from metasequiota to strpix i get another weird object (different)with settings:

regular

the different object

its the same with this

regular

the different one

if you may help me...

Well I have the same issue when I`m importing model with more than 1000 faces , can you tell us the numbers of the vertices?

OK the double pillars have 1104 vertexes 1130 faces but the gun mesh has 462 vertexes 457 faces

Well , I have the same problem

Meta screen:

StripX screen:

And btw why this thread is in the NG section?

I think you mustn't have more than 1000 vertices!
Or faces are same as vertices or not?

I think face is made with vertices, but mustn't have more than 1000 vertices. /:

^ Nope , the shotgun have more or less 500 vertices.

Guns are small objects.
Adding so much detail to them is not even visible ingame.

And one important fact is that STRPix snaps vertices to whole-number coordinates.
For example if a vertice has coordinates 11.2, 15.7 and 50.3, STRPix will snap them to 11, 16 and 50.
So this means that a small but detailed object with lots of vertices close to each other will have those vertices snapped to whole-number coordinates causing vertices to be snapped together, making an object look less detailed and, more important imo, distorted in an unwanted way.

So you are better off reducing the number of certices on those gun objects manually. That'll get better results and still with more than enough detail for the TRLE engine.

Especially that gun of yours, Controfiliburu, has a ridiculous amount of vertices. It can easily be reduced.
Same goes for your gun, bekim. You can also easily reduce the number of vertices without having it look low-poly.

^ You saved me

I forgot that I resize the shotgun to a little size

Now it works fine it isn`t so detailed

so is there any way of reducing vertices automatically (any button or window) or just doing it manually

^ There is a option Reduce Polygons or something like that , in Object or Selected menu. But I think it`s better to do it manually
