obj vs 3ds when importing into upspring

[smoth]

still same result.

are you on a 32 bit os?

[Argh]

Yes.

Try 55.

[smoth]

then MAYBE just maybe it is a 64 bit system issue. However, I think my other machine is 32 bit. let me see.

[Argh]

Anything's possible. Really strange that it's giving that result, but if that's what's up, no wonder you think that it doesn't work.

I'd like to see that geometry if you don't mind, and compare it here, to make sure it's not a video / driver issue.

[smoth]

it isn't a matter of think it doesn't, it doesn't work.

[Argh]

Confirmed, it's the OS or something else. It's fine here.

[smoth]

same result.

Edit*(
added info:
32 bit vista home premium

[Argh]

And I'm on XP Pro. That's really screwed up. I wonder wtf is doing that? You're using the Euler Angle build, I presume?

[smoth]

dunno but still obj works without issue because it does store the normals.

[Argh]

Try this. It's very important to actually open UpSpring first; double-clicking on S3Os opens the oldest version usually. I just put a shortcut on my desktop. This is the last public build of UpSpring from jcnossen, and it fixed a bunch of things.

[smoth]

didn't work and I should mention I have that version.

[Argh]

OK. Well, at least now... we finally know what's up. That's really weird that Vista broke it apparently.

Hmm. Try compatibility mode. Not real likely, though.

Sounds like we really need somebody to compile it again, there must be something wrong with a math function that makes it behave differently. Very strange. It explains a lot of the wtf complaints though.

[smoth]

tried xp service pack 2 and winders 98.

[Argh]

Same results? WTF. Athlon or intel chipset?

IDK what jcnossen built this on, but that's just strange. It's gotta be a number accuracy problem or something's returning the wrong number of significant digits.

I'm not even touching your 3DS, just viewed it in UpSpring, and it's exactly right, both welds and not-welds... very weird.

[smoth]

one machine (64 bit) intel the other is a 32 bit amd

[Argh]

So I have a blessed piece of hardware? OK.

Try the newer build of GLEW32.dll, etc. from Spring. Last thing I can think of, short of somebody poring over the source to find the bug.

[smoth]

too tired and I have other things to do.

[Argh]

<shrugs> It would be nice to have a complete testing report before anybody tries pestering jc. I just tried it, nothing failed over here.

[smoth]

I am not staying up all night because you want me to play debug.

[Argh]

OK, I'll submit a request to get this looked into. Thanks for pinpointing where the issue apparently is. Very strange that it's apparently that hardware-centric, but that's apparently just how it is.
