strange error messiages when importing two different fbx assets into blender 3.6

milliethegreat

I have a bazzare issure with a couple fbx assets into blender. im using blender 3.6 right now.

 

 

here are the errors im getting

asset one error message:

how the heck to i fix this? is it even fixable?

@milliethegreat

Why are you using such an old version of Blender? You are asking for things like what you are experiencing. This is not DAZ and you can easily run multiple versions of Blender side by side and revert if you choose to. No reason to not be using 4.4. The FBX importer seems better, though I don't use it often.

Second, since FBX is proprietary, the Blender guys had to essentially reverse engineer it, and so it never worked robustly. But there is an addon called Better FBX Import which is preciselt that. It might work better for you.

I use the old version of blender because when I import posed Daz figures into the newer versions it either doesn't import the poses right or any attached props don't import attached to the characters. I use diffeomporphic because some objects have emissives. Also how expensive is that plugin? If it's not anything crazy price it's probably worth a try. I don't want to spend bookoo amounts of money if it turns out not to be what i need after all.

Also I believe I tried 4.4 as well. Same results 

TheMysteryIsThePoint

If you are having issues with diffeomorphic, an open source project, the best option is to engage a little bit and send Thomas a bug report. Include exactly what you did, what you expected the results to be, and what the actual results were. You'll find that he's an amazing developer and fixes things with supernatural speed... if... You give him what he needs in order to help you. He wants Diffeo to work well as much as you do. As for the plugin: https://superhivemarket.com/products/better-fbx-importer--exporter?ref

I actually got better fbx exporter and it definitely solved the issue I was having with the error messages i mentioned. I got the assets to import into blender with zero issues and i exported the assets from blender into Daz as obj afterwards just fine too. That's one major problem solved. I'll count that as a win! Thanks for the suggestion on the plugin!

I'm ecstatic at hearing that! We really have to take the wins where we find them :)
