Houdini Export Errors

by Randy Hearn - Magnum · in Artist Corner · 03/29/2009 (10:06 am) · 3 replies

I am exporting some files from Houdini and the DTS exporter is croaking. The dump.html is giving me error numbers with a hyperlink to

http://artist.garagegames.com/dts/warnings/hd1 and http://artist.garagegames.com/dts/errors/error#

the links are bad but not sure if they even exist anymore or plan to exist?

    Could you post the errors that you are seeing? Or link to the Houdini scene and/or dump file?

    Hey Chris,

    Can't post the scene but can post the dump file later tonight.

    This link was actually the hyper link on one of the errors..

    http://artist.garagegames.com/dts/warnings/hd1

    It was pretty obvious, the mesh was too big.. But I can post the actual dum.html later tonight - at work and don't have it.
