no idea why the exterior object is doing that, there for i have no idea how to fix it. one thing i do know for sure, it is a limitation of Zmodeler, not the mesh. The mesh loads fine in other programs.. if you want i could try converting it to 3ds rather than obj and see if that is any better.

Also i found out from donnie tonight the Q7 "chris" doesnt have its own model. there are only 2 Q7 models, the standard and the Inuit the "race" and "chris" versions use the same models as the others just they have some extra stuff telling them to use a full body skin. IIRC the Inuit Q7 is a prize car. which means there is a chance some people may not actually have it. So i think just putting it on the standard Q7 is the best plan.

I shall do a quick conversion of the Exterior file and send it back... Actually thinking about it, i might have an idea about the jumble..

A lot of the parts i combined onto the single layer "exterior HR" then i merged the points. so that means that..for example... The material BODY and the material GLASS are physically joined to each other they are all one mesh, so it may be getting stuck with trying to differentiate between to materials that are physically one object.

Thats easy to fix in LW just select each material, then cut and paste it back into the same layer, they are all in the same pace but the seams between to different materials will not be broken apart. That might help Zmodeler figure out what is what...


Im gonna get a coffee then i shall dump out a few different version. package them all up and send them to you to try out each version. Ill do one as 3ds but no splitting, one as obj but WITH splitting, and one as 3ds again but with splitting.

Then we should be able to see which ones fail and which work. (so you will need to test all 3) and see which screw up and which work. That will also help us for any other mods we do.. once we know how the models have to be done (in LW) then i can make sure we always do them like that.

I shall have the new Rar file sent to you soon..
