Strange issue with cameras

Bwana Kahawa · February 8th, 2008

Hi,
I'm trying to export a particularly complex model from FormZ to Maxwell, but I keep getting an error message stating:

"camera.setCutPlanes
Invalid zNear/zFar planes"

It suggests there's something up with the cameras, but rendering any view of the model generates the same message. However, when I copy my camera into a new file to render a simple cube, I still get it - almost as if something in the model is corrupting all cameras and views associated with it.

Any ideas? Workarounds? It'd be nice to get this rendering today...

Cheers!

Derek

Merge all into a new scene and try then. Maybe corrupted file.

Got there in the end - it was a couple of dodgy objects that seemed to have corrupted the file. Only took 8 hours to find the two objects by process of elimination...

Cheers anyway!
