Object Export = FAIL!

#1

Ok, Vue is really starting to piss me off now:banghead:

It’s one thing if a program has bugs… or just simply broken functions, because those usually come with a future fix or a workaround. Vue, on the other hand, is UNPREDICTABLY BROKEN!!!

An hour ago, object export was working fine. Exported out 2 1million+ poly terrains, no problem. Tweak my scene a little more (nothing drastic, just changed some material and atmosphere settings). Now, whenever I try to export an object I always get the message “Unable to write file, please check that you have enough disk space”. WTF Vue! You need more than 500gb of disk space to write a 30mb file!?!

Thought maybe it was just that terrain, so I tried another. FAIL!
Thought it was my scene, so I tried another. FAIL!
Thought I needed to restart Vue and try those 2 things again. FAIL! FAIL!
Then I thought I should restart my machine and try those 2 yet again. FAIL! FAIL!
Reset my options in Vue, restarted Vue, restarted my machine, tried different files, different objects FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL!!! The only thing I’ve been able to successfully export out is a terrain less than 1mb! That’s just slightly more complex than a box.

To make matters worse, my terrains spontaneously become hidden and I have to go up to the object menu and un-hide them. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR:banghead::banghead::banghead:

If anyone has a suggestion I’m all ears, if not… well, it felt good to get that out.

oh btw: Vue 7.2 (latest build) on OSX 10.5.6. It’s a mac pro octo with plenty of ram and a geforce 8800.

Sounds to me like the program may be corrupted. First thing I would do is reinstall - taking all of the stadnard precautions for your data. If that doesn’t work, uninstall then reinstall. Perhaps someone else here has a better suggestion?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:cry::cry:

I’m so sick of reinstalling vue. I’ve already had to do it 3 times in the past week due to a bad update/download. I can’t believe vue could get so corrupted in such a short amount of… wait, scratch that, I do believe it… this is vue we’re talkin’ about here.

I was so hoping it was going to be a “yup, we’ve seen this before. Not sure why it happens but do this and that’ll fix it”. Hehe, guess I’m not that lucky; alright, I’ll try reinstalling when I get home from class.

thanks,

Tried reinstalling and got this error message

#5

Ok, tried again, even though I didn’t change anything except re-open the dmg, and got it installed and updated without a hitch.

It’s… a little better. At least now I can export a file that’s 5mb and 400,000 polys, but still can’t export a model that’s about 30mb in size and 1.8m polys, so… still broken.

Next round, gonna try not updating… if vue will even open a 7.2 file in 7… we’ll see I guess.
