keep surfaces between MODO AND Messiah

#1

I work interractively between modo And PMG, and the trouble is that i can’t keep all Surface, UVs, made in modo when i open the mesh in PMG. i mean some surfaces are still there after opening in messiah And some others disappear. All UVs disappear also.
I hope it’s just an error of manipulating, and in that case What’s the tips.

I post the same topics in modo thread.
Thanks ahead.
David.

What format do you use, obj or lwo?

lwo …

I’ve found something to keep all materials in messiah.
i’ve saved the files Alias fbx format, and it work well, but one thing, UVs always disappear.
That’s a real problem for me, i can’t work without UVs.

this might explain why my LWOs loaded in messiah and connected to MAYA dont have any uvs!

this might also explain why messiah doesnt support weight maps?

#6

so, i wonder how i can have a UVmaps in messiah ?

The .obj files I work with from Silo, UVed in ultimateunwrap or silo 2.0 beta, works good.
Can´t you use obj´s instead?

BTW. You should report this in the bug thread.
Stooch you got LW, how does objs made in LW modeler work?

#8

well sorry the lake knowledges in messiah! in fact all surfaces an UVs are contained in .obj files.

:rolleyes:

I should work in lwo´s too, so it´s prob. a bug somewhere. But it´s great that the obj´s tip helped you:thumbsup:

How about sharing the file? And can anyone else duplicate this with there own file? It could be possible its a modo issue, since we haven’t seen this from lightwave?

i loaded the lwos created in lightwave into messiah and connected to maya - no uv.

I loaded the object in modo and laid out the UV perfectly and again tried to connect to maya - no uv again…

i have to say that i was wrong for the uvs. messiah keep the uvs when lwo file is done by modo.
but lwo doesn’t restitue all surface when it’s loaded in Messiah.

 How about sharing the file? And can anyone else duplicate this with there own file? It could be possible its a modo issue, since we haven't seen this from lightwave?

Ok. below are links of lwo and obj made in modo.
