Hi Guys,

I have a simple character done in Modo. I have imported it into Messiah with both OBJ and LWO. Once in Messiah - If I press the tab key to SDS the model ?? - What seems to happen is the centre of the model collapses with a load of spikey pieces coming out and upwards. AND tells me "Error computing MetaNurbs".

Any ideas?

Most likely the mesh has a stray point or an ngon which is not supported in
Messiah. To get around this you can use the "smoother" plugin provided by
Ulven which is very fast and really quite ingenious, thanks go to Ulven for all
of the fantastic resources he has provided for us.

Think this is a very nice solution without having to go back and clean up your
mesh.

Hi Gene,

Yes - thank you. I had this on the back of my mind last night - seemed to remember it from before. Indeed it was a stray VERT, just one that I had not spotted. Amazing - just one vert :)

Thanks again

Aidan
