Hi! I have tried CharacterFX to animate a model (i've used it before) but when ever I try to export or save the model (saving to CharacterFX's native format) a message pops up saying there is an error with some dll but it's written in a different language. So I can't save anything. Anyone else have this problem?

My model is over 1.5k polys so could this be a cause of the problem?

I figured out that the saving to the native format error happens after an error pops up when I try to export to Direct-X.

(The attached picture is the message that pops up)

UPDATE: It seems to be working fine now... I have no clue what I did but it's working Now to animate

Use Google first... it's not rocket surgery!

Quote: "here is a checklist that i go through to make sure CharacterFX exports properly:

1) Make sure your model is triangulated. CFX hates untriangulated models.
2) Make sure EVERY SINGLE VERTEX is assigned to a bone. If you don't, what is shown in the screenshot can occur.
3) Try not using splines. Sometimes splines work and sometimes they don't. I don't know why

try these things and tell us how it goes"


i posted the same thing here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=151026&b=3

it wasn't the same issue as yours, but i've noticed that difference problems happen for those 3 same reasons.

also, try them in that order. #1 is by far the most common reason that CFX bugs out

Thanks the exporting works now (after I rigged the model) but I still can't save it to the native file format.

NEVERMIND! The export worked once but now it doesn't work...

I attached what the message is to the first post.

You might need to repost the pic (the forum messes up on pics with uppercase extensions). I think I've had this error before. It usually happens when I just try to load a model and immediately export it. You have to rig it, bind the skin, and do a little animation before exporting and it should work fine.
