Default My mesh looks like a mess when I load it to TSRW. Help? (solved)
So I'm really new to meshing, and I was following a video tutorial to learn how to combine two meshes. Everything seemed to be going smoothly this was how it looked in Milkshape...


But then when I tried to opened the file on tsrw it looked like this:


I don't know what went wrong or how to fix this and because I'm new to meshing I don't even know where to begin to look, it's probably something really simple that I'm over looking.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

It looks like you need to renumber the verts, assign bones, or maybe both. I think TSRW automatically renumbers the verts for you, but you do have to do the bone assignments yourself. MeshToolKit will do it automatically. Don't panic, they're easy things to fix.

No, you exceed the max ammount of joints that can be in one group.
Max limit is 60, your count is 61

It also seems like you have loaded the mesh twice? (in each group)....you need one mesh cut in half, each half loaded in a group.

Thanks for setting me straight Bloom. I didn't know the limit on bones per mesh group was 60, and I never noticed that TSRW gave a bone count. Learn something new every day --
I think I'll leave the forum responses to people that really know what they're going. I know I get frustrated when I get bad info, and I definitely don't want to be the one giving it!

Oh that did it


Thank you so much!
And don't feel bad sciguy I'm grateful that you tried to help anyways; I never heard of meshtoolkit before and I'm sure it will be handy in the future.
