Hi folks
I dont know what is happening to my 3dsMax, but in the past 2 weeks i´m getting this terrible error on my imported objs.
From simple spheres to base meshes, every obj i try to load kind of deform all my mesh.
Is there anything i can do?

I really need help with this, i´ve tried to reinstall the program, installed service packs, hotfix, but nothing works : :(

HELP!

Mesh distortions often happen when the object is either too small or too big, or too far away from the scene center/origin. Could you provide what your System and Scene Units settings, object dimension, and what its coordinates are?

You can look up System and Scene Units settings via Customize → Units Setup.
Object size can be accessed via right-click, Object Properties.
Position readout can be accessed from Move/Transform Type-In dialog box.

Thx Anna!! but i dont think this is the problem =/
See, I always use this basemesh on my models and it works pretty fine.
This error happens with ALL objs i try to load, no matter what.

i get this error on Every obj i try to load =/
Even if i create a simple sphere and export it, then import again, i get this same error.
It´s some obj loading problem.

here is a base for who want to test.
i´m pretty sure it will open corecctly with anyone
but not with me ;(

This is what I get. I applied Edit Poly on top to view the model properly.

It seems to import ok, but it’s very odd - I can’t see the mesh in it’s proper wireframe colour even if I remove any material. Very odd.

Anyway.

Start Max
Set System Units (not just Display Units) to Inches
Import the model, I turned off the Material import, but touched nothing else (my system defaults to the “Blender” preset).
Remove any material (I know there shouldn’t be any, but...) by entering “$.material=undefined” in the Listener.
Polygon level, select all, detach to object.
Delete the imported object, the “duplicate” seems fine to me.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

I just opened the head as well in Max and it opened just fine.  Have you installed all the updates and hot fixes?

I did installed all hotfix packs.
Nothing is wrong with the OBJ files guys, the problem is in my 3dsMax.
But no one seems to have ever seen something like the error i get.
Thank you so much for every post trying to help
;)

The title of your thread seems to have been changed to “Solved”. Could you tell us how you solved the problem so others who face similar problems can learn from it? Thanks.
