Problems Importing Retopologized mesh with custom UVs

[Lyonax]

Hello, as the title says, I am having issues importing my new low polygon obj back into Zephyr. When I do so I get the error 'failed to import file'. I even tried importing the original exported mesh and it wouldn't work for some reason. Could it be because my new model is too different to the original?

I checked the log and this is what came up :

[10:05:06] Reading model D:/Documents/Photogrammetry/Log_low.OBJ

[10:05:06] Reading obj...

[10:05:06] Normalizing obj data...

[10:05:06] 508 vertices added.

[10:05:06] No triangles added.

[10:05:06] Loaded:

[10:05:06] Vertices: 508

[10:05:06] Normals: 0

[10:05:06] Texture Coords: 0

[10:05:06] Colors: 0

[10:05:06] Indices: 0

[10:05:06] Textures: 4

Hope someone can help me solve this.

Thanks!

Hi Lyonax,

I don't know if this is the case, but Zephyr 3.7 supports only triangular meshes, please make sure it doesn't contain quads. We are adding quads support in the upcoming version 4.0 (next week hopefully ).

If the mesh doesn't contain quads and you can share the dataset, we'll be glad to have a look!

I tried converting to triangles but still no success. How exactly do I go about sharing the dataset?

Hi Lyonax,

sorry for the late reply. We've been super busy with the 4.0 release.

I will contact you at your email address with credentials for our server, so you'll be able to share the dataset with us

Hi Joseph,

I have had a look at your dataset and the problem, as pointed out by Roberto, is that you were feeding a quad-only mesh. Up to zephyr 3.702, no quad support is present in zephyr.

Please update to Zephyr 4.0 and try again. It should work flawlessly

Hi Andrea and 3DFlow Staff
I am participating in the contest and using 4.004 Free. There is no import option in the menu to bring back the geometry with custom UVs. The deadline for submission is close

EDIT, got the answer from Andrea on Discord. It's a feature of Lite and up.
