D|S not importing .obj

Ethin

In the last few months D|S has started having problems importing recently created .obj files. When I import everything seams normal, I get no error message, but nothing loads. It's not 100%, some will import, most don't. I'll have a model that D|S will import but if I make changes in my modeling app (wings3d) and export it again suddenly Daz won't import it.

I haven't updated Wings3D or D|S recently, updating and rolling back graphics drivers has had no effect. Poser will import them just fine, but it's a real pain to import them in Poser and save them as a prop just so I can get them into D|S.

I'm at a loss as to why this just started.

Any help would be great!

Some obj models made for Poser have an extremely small scale.  DazStudio does load them,  and if the obj is in the scene tab after import,  you have a couple options.

Select the model from the scene tree,  and click scale. The default is 100%  change that number to 24,000%

The other option is at import  Daz Studio gives you the option to import with poser scale and does the conversion during import.

These are models I've made myself and are scaled to D|S defult import/export scale. After importing the viewport and scene tab both show that nothing was imported.

I have not had a problem importing obj recently and i have probably imported several hundred from various sources within the last three months.  Obj is the only reliable file format.

I wonder if there could be something weird with your export settings in Wings.  Does it load into other software, e.g., Blender?

I recently discovered you can just mass drag and drop obj into the viewport also - which speeds up making prop/figure presets.

can you share the file?, or at least post an screenshot in wings about the file?

... and now it's fixed!!?

I guess it was the graphics driver after all, not sure why it took a day to take effect. The .obj's that would not import before still wont but new export of the same models will now import. Wonder if it's a bad thing that I'm now running a driver from 2018.

 

Sorry to bother you all for nothing, thank you anyway!

Good that you got it sorted out.  Obj is a reliable model format generally.
