Has anyone imported rigged 3ds Max models?

[cellis]

Hello,

I am trying to get my 3ds max model into away3d. This is what i got as
an error.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at away3d.loaders::Max3DS/::buildMeshes()
at away3d.loaders::Max3DS$iinit()
at away3d.loaders::Object3DLoader/::startParsingGeometry()
at away3d.loaders::Object3DLoader/
away3d.loaders:Object3DLoader::onGeometryComplete()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/
flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
at away3d.loaders::Object3DLoader/::update()


I know the stack trace isn't enough, but i'm curious to find if anyone
has run into this problem or has any examples of 3ds models being used
and what variables i need to change in my 3ds exporter.

Thanks!

Hey Cellis

compatibility is a priority of our importers, so if you could supply a sample of the 3ds file causing the error we can attempt to fix whatever the problem is in the parser.

Hey Guys

problem now fixed and in trunk. Thanx for the report!

btw, if you ever need to center a model in the scene once loaded in, heres a little trick (works nicely for your teapot Zhil)

model.movePivot((model.maxX + model.minX)/2, (model.maxY + model.minY)/2, (model.maxZ + model.minZ)/2);

this requires centerMeshes to be set to true in the initialising object for the loader, so that all child meshes in a model are centered around their geometry. This gives no visual difference, but is useful when using the max/min calculations in this manner.

please let us know if the fix works for you!
