Mystie's Models That Need Fixing

[Lunar Archivist]

Updated with the arms and hands as one combined mesh, rather than separate meshes. Give it a try and tell me if it works now.

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. Was attending a convention this weekend.

I regret to inform you that it didn't work. Now, both the hands and the arms are missing when I open the file bayo_default.dae in 3DS Max.

While I did the following last time and neglected to mention the results, I'd like to note that attempting to open the file bayo_default.obj in 3DS Max triggers the following error message:

error in file: meshName = shapeName

I did a little digging and found out that this indicates that the model has polygons with an "illegal" number of vertices, i.e. 1 or 2 instead of 3 or 4. Blender appears to be more tolerant of such polygonal anomalies than 3DS Max is.

I can't do much from my end since I don't have Blender (and can't install it right now either), but perhaps you can take a closer look at Bayonetta's hands and see if all the polygons in them are tris or quads. That seems to be the part of the mesh where the problems are.

Do you have any idea what version of 3DS Max your friend has? 2013 and 2014 seem to have a lot of trouble importing these models, but if your friend has an older version, he might have an easier time doing so and can fix the geometry problems from there.
