Hi!
I installed the Quixel Suite 2.3.1 trial tonight to see if it would work on my system and with models created for Poser, but I'm having trouble with getting it to work correctly.
I'm following along with the video posted on Youtube, DDO Painter for Beginners: Azog Breakdown and I have downloaded the assets and I'm loading the mesh and the attached Normal, AO and ColorID images and Quixel runs through the process of loading the images, appearing to behave normally as I have seen in videos, but after the message window saying my project has been created comes up and I click OK, I'm not getting the mesh to load in the 3DO preview window. Sometimes I'm taken back to the starting window of DDO as though nothing has been loaded - there are no mesh or images loaded.
The only thing I am not doing the same as the video is assigning the colour ID's to the model in Maya. I do not own Maya. At the moment, I only have a Student license to 3ds Max and I haven't had the opportunity to learn it, and it will be expiring soon, and when it does I will be working with modo, which is more in my price range. Is it necessary for my to apply the colour ID's to the model, even though there is a ColorID image supplied?
Trying to research this and troubleshoot what could be going wrong, I have read that DDO prefers Tri models, rather than Quads. I have also tried loading one of the sample scenes. I downloaded the Orc, extracted it from the .zip file and then loaded the Project.xml file without any issues. The textures loaded correctly and I was able to see the model in the 3DO preview pane.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Photoshop CS6 Extended.
I'm certain the issues I'm having are because I'm new to the program and I'm unfamiliar with how to get it to work correctly and my knowledge of modelling is very basic. (I have only dabbled with Zbrush so far, and even then they were only small morph corrections to Poser models.)
I am hoping someone can help me sort out this problem I'm having, if only to confirm the supplied files for the Azog video are correct and there is something I should be doing that I'm not.
Thank you.
Kat
