Bug or Export Error?

[gamecreator]

I exported a mesh from Max 2009 using ArBuZ's tool and got the below error. At first I thought it was an export error but when I started rotating the mesh, I noticed that the point where the jutting points go is always to the center of the editor window. Any suggestions on how to fix this or is this a bug I should report?

 

Below is the material file, in case that helps.

 

texture0="abstract::skeleton_texture_1.dds"

blend=0

depthmask=1

overlay=0

zsort=0

cullface=0

castshadows=1

specular=0.25

gloss=0.1

bumpscale=0.4

shader="abstract::mesh_skin_diffuse.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_alphatest.frag"

shadowshader="abstract::mesh_shadow_skin.vert"

hmm...if it's not a driver error, I'd say it looks like 2 vertices on those fingers didn't get weighted to any bones?

[gamecreator]

Good thought. It could be a driver error.

 

I think it's safe to rule out the the vertices not being weighted to bones as it acts fine in Max.

[gamecreator]

Hmm, or maybe not. I really don't know. If I uncheck Export Skin in the exporter, it looks fine again. Will try to reassign the vertices when I get back home.

[ArBuZ]

Make sure that maximum 4 bones affect any vertex. There is the option somewhere in the Skin modifier. Something like maximum bones per vertex.

 

EDIT:

In the Advanced rollout -> "Bone Affect Limit" set it to 4

[gamecreator]

Thank you sir. Will try that first.

I know un-triangulated meshes have this issue sometimes, Is your mesh triangulated?

[gamecreator]

I'm not sure how to tell. Will look that up.

[gamecreator]

ArBuZ, your suggestion worked. Thank you!!!! And not just that, I learned what un-triangulation is (the mesh wasn't). Two for the price of one!
