Export From modeller

@TeeDee Alright, just spent a couple hours going through and finding things.
Haven't tracked down all my workflow/pipeline/etc folders yet but this is most likely what you're looking for.
You'll want to make sure whatever you want to export is actually selected, if you don't the topology slider will stay at 0% and you won't export anything.
Based on what I've found it's probably one of these two settings (most likely the one on the right) (just try both)
I've got a lot of test files with a bunch of pipelines scattered through at least a dozen folders, and this was months ago, hopefully gets you on the right track.
Will update if I can find the text file that has the step by step breakdown.
Modeler has/had an issue with not properly exporting the bounding box.
If that persists let me know and I'll explain how to fix it, we may have solved that on our side, has been a while since I've run these.

Export from modeller

AncientWorldsOP•6/6/24, 4:32 AM

I've seen that before. Can you confirm that you did both of these things?

Is the object selected
Is the slider at 100%
If that's not the issue, I will try and figure out where I put the project folder.

:: Found these notes:
Make sure is 100% export for quads/Tris (may solve texture issues), not fully tested, but causes problems otherwise
Make sure Vertex Colors ARE selected (gets color)
Export the Glb
I'm still looking for the correct screenshot

I found a workaround, if the image isn't in your model export attempt, but modeller is actually exporting a glb

AncientWorldsOP•6/6/24, 4:36 AM

Before I complicate things with that, let me know where you're seeing the message

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:10 AM

Say hi to Wilson everyone

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:10 AM

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:11 AM

Wilson is our low res volleyball with a smile who we'll be exporting

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:14 AM

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:14 AM

we are exporting as glb, selected (he is blue now), with these settings ^

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:19 AM

Took a minute, but we now have our glb export, wilson 06 06 (because he is evil)

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:19 AM

willson_06_06.glb20.73MB

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:20 AM

he has exported successfully as far as windows 3d viewer is concerned. Model and texture

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:27 AM

But openbrush doesn't like wilson for some reason

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:27 AM

that's where the error appears

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:28 AM

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:29 AM

Let's go again with the topology slider at 100

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:29 AM

Don't worry wilson, we'll bring you into open brush, don't worry

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:37 AM

here's wilson exported at 100% topology on that slider

wilson_toplogy_100glb.glb20.73MB

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:38 AM

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:39 AM

3d viewer is again able to see him in all his glory

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:42 AM

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:43 AM

but open brush does not like wilson topology 100glb either, even though he's got such a fancy name

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:44 AM

here's the smod file

wilson_smaller.smod1.54MB

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:44 AM

the modeler file

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:44 AM

he's not small of brain or of heart, just in file size

AAncientWorlds Export from modeller

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:47 AM

and so ends the saga of wilson the unimportable

TeeDee•6/6/24, 7:47 AM

or does it...

andybak•6/6/24, 8:12 AM

Here's a twist - all the 4 files you DM'ed me import fine (albeit without a texture)

Aandybak Here's a twist - all the 4 files you DM'ed me import fine (albeit without a text...

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:13 AM

those 4 were the fbx and obj ones yeah (for ancientworld's info)

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:13 AM

and yeah they imported but no texture

andybak•6/6/24, 8:14 AM

ok. that wasn't clear.

andybak•6/6/24, 8:14 AM

Can you send me a file that doesn't import at all?

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:14 AM

the two glb's higher in this thread

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:15 AM

wilsontopology`00glb and wilson_06_06

TTeeDee here's wilson exported at 100% topology on that slider

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:15 AM

this one

TTeeDee Click to see attachment

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:15 AM

and this one

andybak•6/6/24, 8:18 AM

ok. i want to be more scientific about this -

Is it the case that:

.obj - no material
.fbx - no material
.glb - "no usable geometry"

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:18 AM

yes

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:20 AM

That is correct

TeeDee•6/6/24, 8:27 AM

or to be more specific, glb with these settings seem to have unusuable geometry: https://discordapp.com/channels/783806589991780412/1084525307685515355/1176519267416551496 obj and fbx under the previously mentioned settingshttps://discordapp.com/channels/783806589991780412/1084525307685515355/1247443730114416671 ahave no texture

TTeeDee or to be more specific, glb with these settings seem to have unusuable geometry:...

andybak•6/6/24, 8:55 AM

ok. i have a fix for glbs

andybak•6/6/24, 8:55 AM

switch to the beta if you aren't already using it and add this to your Open Brush config file:

"Import": {
"UseUnityGltf": true
},

andybak•6/6/24, 8:56 AM

assuming you're got an empty config here's how the whole thing should look:

andybak•6/6/24, 9:07 AM

For the obj and fbx files - in both cases we're not showing a texture because there isn't one. It's all done with vertex colors. GLB is th only format where we detect that and make use of it. Not sure why the regular gltf importer is throwing an error but at least there's a workaround.

andybak•6/6/24, 9:07 AM

also a bit puzzled why the gltf is so much bigger than the obj and fbx

andybak•6/6/24, 9:07 AM

that might be your export settings

TeeDee•6/6/24, 9:51 AM

Sounds good, I'll try that fix tonight, thank you

TTeeDee Sounds good, I'll try that fix tonight, thank you

AncientWorldsOP•6/6/24, 10:53 PM

I didn't see this before I saw your email, I sent you a workaround that should handle it
The problem is that modeller doesn't do the bounding box thing right, as I recall, so there's no dimensionality to work with directly.
Results in /0 errors or something along those lines.
I think we've got it fixed in the newer importers (see andy's post on the config)

TeeDee•6/6/24, 11:10 PM

this is gunna sound dumb but I don't see any of that in the conig file
