Heia does anybody know this Error?


ERROR - Bogus sub-material index 1 in node Plane01. highest valid index is 0

a friend of me use the 3ds max smd exporter
and when he try to export his model to an smd file he get this error message

I can't help him cause i don't have any idea.

Sounds like his Multi/Sub material on the object is fubar or maybe he's assigned a material ID to a face higher than the number of sub materials in it.

I had similar problems once but installing the latest version of the plugin helped.

Problem I had was that I'd added then removed a couple of sub materials and instead of being numbered 1,2,3,4,5, etc. it was 1,3,2,7,8 which the exporter didn't like.

thx for the tip


I found another way

i think he played on the materialID so i go to the modiefir list and add " material"
