i think what people normaly do is take a .o3d (IE: Bloody sword) and convert it into a .obj, do the edits and such, then convert it back to a .o3d. Try converting a file from .o3d. Opening it in your 3d editor, and dragging your new model into it and doing your edits. then try reconverting it back. worth a shot iono if it would work or not, just somthin i would try with trouble shootin

Sorry I can't help with that. I have never seen that method before.

@Zeal. I am pretty sure that is how you do it. I can't remember. I havern't done it for quite some time now. :D

Good Luck :D

well this is the converter made by fatduck (thinking its his since when i try it it says made by fat duck) anyways i had the same kinda problem with an item i converted from an o3d then opened with cinema 4d so yea this is this same way i just dont get whats wrong with either of them i doubt its the name coz ive had it named different things before and converted to other things and it worked fine but for some reason it just didnt want to work now

Hmm got me lost. Maybe later when some of the more experienced devs come online they can help you. :D

i tried editing a face model and got a similar error, i found out that some models just cant be converted, they dont work out, try rescaling it, and try the way i suggested earlier, if that doesnt work, hopefully i can get mine to work, if that fails..... hopefully some one can be our savior and release one XD

ive made a mask and it worked fine this is weird tho because it just didnt convert i didnt even add anything to my mask it was just me moving the points around so it could look more like ichigos hollow mask and i got pretty close to it so i thought why not try it out? and this is what happens so atm im thinking how bout i merge this mask with the mask i made before but the only thing is that well the other masks are all symmertrical this is the only one i found that isnt so why lol and the sword well that sword was made from scratch i took random sized squares and put them together then at the end connected them to make one shape i got everything perfect well as far as i could see it lol but yea nothing

theres one last thing that i can think of, when your saving the file, are you saving it as 1 poly, or multiple poly's just overlapping

Edit: I finished my model and having a similar problem, online my error is a tad bit differnt.....



after all that work, i feel your pain dude

Edit part 2: i think that we are useing old converters that barely works, here is a new converter

o3d converter

I worked on the next version and i guess it now is "useable". It's still not complete and in testing phase. I hope it helps you, altough changing all those bones is a pain the ass ;) but it was the only idea i had about changing bones.

Also, i think the best way may be... and i ahte to say it but.... opening the petal sword .o3d file with this program saving as .obj, opening that in the 3d editng software, and making the edits, followed by a export and opening in the progrmam to save as .o3d....... basically redo everything
