FBX/Collada and Ncloth crash

[Duncan]

Try applying polycleanup to the mesh. It may have some topology problems. Also check the poly count. A very dense mesh could perhaps lock up the system or overflow available memory.

Thanks Duncan for your reply and help.

I did discover, through trial and error, that several isolated vertices were floating about in my mesh(es). (A mighty fine clean-up job on my part.. argh!)

Once I applied a meshclean-up everything seemed to work without a hitch for nCloth. (Things didn't go well for me of course!... Having discovered the intital mesh with blunderous floting vertices I decided to check several others and found them to be flawed with my careless modelling. It was such a joy to reskin several characters after this. (though Mayas copy skin weights tool was a marvelous help in getting this to happen without much of any effort at all)

This reason seemed to be the underlying cause to the problem mentionned in this thread as well as the one I previously started (which you answered as well,.. again Thank you very much!)

So, though the thread(s) were seemingly attempting to place blame on some phantom import/export technology plug-in problem... in the end... it was operator error (IE... bad mesh creation by myself, who left dozens of errant floating vertices with no place for nCloth to find homes for in its higher level thinking.... ughh...)

Once more, Thank you Duncan!

(On a sidenote... Do you work with Daryl Obert?... He did a presentation for nCloth for Adesk and I have to say that he sure was mighty upbeat about nCloth (not that I blame him!... very cool stuff you(and your team) whipped up here with nCloth Duncan... mighty sweet!). I'm thinking he(Daryl) must have been given some great tootalage from yourself.)
