maya iff's


#1

for a long time now (since version 1) combustion has not liked maya iff’s. sometimes i could load up iff’s in my setup but and not have a promblem, but no it’s gotten to the point that it doesn’t like it anymore. IT CRASHES WHEN I SELECT THE IFF SEQUENCE WHEN IMPORTING.

does anyone know what causes this? does it have to do with the old amiga iff format?

It’s really sad that we have to convert .iff files to another file format. If you find out a way that lets C* deals with Maya files without crashs I’d really want to know.
It’s crazy but I doubt that Combustion is only encouraging people to use Max instead of Maya :smiley:

well i kinda figured out that c* dosen’t like 16bit iff’s

Out of maya Combustion seems to like RLA the best. Though it doesn’t like the z channel since discreet bastardized the format and forked it from the original wavefront version. Iff issues have been around forever, always bitch about it and discreet always says "its fixed in .xx bug update, yea right! They have been pounding the same sand since version 1.0.
