Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Trying to split object into parts… or polygons, or something… I don’t know, I’m so new :(

    Yup, I have. I can export them all separately, but there’s just so many – kinda nervous about piecing things back together in C4D with me being such a newbie and all. I’m not even sure if I’d know how to move things around. :S

    If you can’t get the objects to export properly, try this:

    1. Select the object and run Mesh>Commands>Optimize. This will weld points that are supposed to be connected. You may need to adjust the Optimize command’s tolerance setting which you access by clicking the little gear icon next to the menu entry;

    2. With the object still selected, run Mesh>Conversion>Polygon Groups to Objects. That will split the object into individual pieces.

    OMFG!
    Adam, you king!
    I think option #2 just worked. ????

    Can’t thank you enough! I may be back, but for now, that seems to be exactly what needed to be done. ????

    Thank you everyone! Team Creative Cow, you rock!????❤
