Error Importing Model to Blender
ArmoredBricks started this discussion in Model Export and Render

I've been trying to render this model in time for the Lego IDEAS Space contest ending on July 31st, but I can't import my model into Blender. Every time I try to import the .zmbx file, I get this error: https://imgur.com/J3Rm2ID.png (the error is in the bottom right corner)
At first I thought it was just me, but Citrine and CPBrickMaster both tried it and got the error also. Citrine guessed it might have something to do with the new part geometry currently being added to parts? (i.e. one of the parts is updated and isn't yet supported by the blender add-on)

Please look into this, I'd love to have it rendered by tomorrow!
P.S. The model I'm having trouble with is here: https://www.mecabricks.com/en/models/BLvGRmwzjGy

no, I thought it was because of the new materials, like the glitter and speckle ones... But there doesnt seem to be any on you model? hmm

You have 3 parts in Tr. Bright Violet Glitter (129) which is currently not supported by the add-on.

Yes, looks like that was it. I tried deleting the parts in Tr. Bright Violet Glitter and it imported successfully. To think that was the problem this whole time! 😩

Wow, thanks Scrubs! Well, do you two (CP and Citrine) want to try again? I can still resubmit the model...

Unfortunately, I don't have time do a render now. 😦
If you ever need help rendering in the future, just let me know. 😉

Thanks guys! I had time to do the renders myself. Sorry about the chaos, thanks for being willing to do it! 😃

sure!

Anytime! 😉
