Importing C4D model
Does anyone know the secret to importing a Cinema 4D model into Zaxwerks?
I managed to make a decent looking apple in C4D and was hoping to then import it into Zaxwerks to make a spinning apple, but when I try “importing a 3D model” I get the message “unable to be imported…perhaps wrong file format selected…or unsupported version.”The manual only says “try resaving the file in an older version of the format or try using a different format”. What does that mean? C4D doesn’t allow saving in different/older formats.?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. It’s probably something very simple but I’ve tried everything that I could find in every manual/tutorial I have.
thanks!

Hi-
After going through the archives I noticed one message from Serge that read that models made from NURBS cannot be imported. Is that the answer?thanks!

Saving the c4d model as .3ds, I was able to bring it into Invigorator. I believe the model was a nurb, if I recall correctly.
For some reason, only 3ds format worked for me at the time.
Good luck

I tried your suggestion and still no luck. Thank you for your response! I guess I’ll keep trying.

Had the same problem with C4D 9.1. Under the support section of the ZW site it has a sentence to the effect that it only supports files created with Cinema GO! which I don’t think is even available anymore. You can export your file out of C4D as a Wavefront obj file which does seem to work but it flattens the components and stips out the textures.
