morning...


i have the problem with a few obj models that come in from archicad. i can easily change the textures and edit stuff, but maya freezes when i want to render the scene from within maya. it works fine with rendering when the obj file is hidden in a hidden layer.

it even freezes when i just want to export the scene (around 20'000 polys).
what could be the problem? how to fix it?

aha...

i think maxwell has a problem with .obj interpretation directly... i just imported the file into cinema 4d which sees the poly models connected to each shader and makes individual models. in maya, there's one model. (select faces over hypershade)

i had once the problem with an .obj tree in studio. it didn't recognize all the branches as sub-objects of the .obj...

well, workaround found...
