Title: i can't load any 3ds file into Oxygen light
Post by: frisk on 17 Dec 2002, 18:57:49
i have a mayor problem here
i used to edit 3d models in metaseg
or better known as Metasequoia

have a version of Metaseq that can export to 3ds
but i can't load them into Oxygen light

when i load them in Oxygen produceses an error and will crash
and when i try to import > 3ds it says "No KFDATA"

 There is a program called anim8or that makes the dummy KDS data so you can import into O2...


check out Brsseb's tute on making your first addon.. I believe that is where i got the link to it from..

failing that.. try a search engine ..

even tried to export to lightwave.obj and convert that to
a 3ds file with anim8or but it still has the same error messages

if you have any other idea pls tell me

i don't have 3d studio max
i think its the only tool that can solve my problem

 Well...   I don't have 3DS,   (well, not installed at least)
and I've done just fine so far....


When you use Anim8or , did you do exactly what the tute said to do?

you need to go to object/import  on the menu bar, import your object.


and then go to options/debug   and make sure the Dummy 3DS Kdata is checked off..... then export it as 3DS format and you should be ok  when importing into O2
