Please advise I'm really behind here.


UPDATE:

Ok if I don't do export separate files for all of the lighting and everything and have it export just one file for the whole scene. It seems to render.

[vlado]

Ok, but still can you show me line 991 from the scene file that gives the error? It sounds like a bug that we should fix.

Best regards,
Vlado

[3Dmotif]

how do I do that just open in a text editor? do I have to turn compression off?

[vlado]

It's a text file so yes you can open in any editor. No need to turn compression off.

line 954 this time I had to re-export. but it happens anything separate file is checked.

see image

[vlado]

Ok - will look into it. Thanks for the pointer!

Best regards,

Hi, 3DMotif,

We were unable to reproduce the issue with a similar scene: includes for geometry, textures etc., followed by comments and empty renderviews.
Can you provide us with a scene for further investigation?

Regards
