RF2012- hangs at scene loading..

[hervé]

Hello..

I have this scene I have been working for a long time with.. I saved it and re-opened it many times.. but this morning, when I try to open it, I can see the deamons and objects list, but then RF hangs there forever, and I have to force quit...

Any idea what can cause that...???

thank you

well RF hanged when trying to load an SD file that is part of the file ... so I renamedthat SD file to force RF to ask me where the heck is the SD file.. I skipped it, so RF loaded all (except that SD file which I then loaded after.. and all went good again..)

I suspect the problem comes from a small vertical bar I have in front of the emitter name that is contained in the SD file, but I can't rename a object that is part of a SD file...

It's been a looong time.. I guess it's a bug.. have you had time to check the scene I have sent you...?

here is a screen shot.. .. I have no degenerated polygons..1000 % sure.. lol



thank you

[hervé]

btw.. the supposed degenerated polys are not the cause.. I have another scene saying that, and it opens just fine.. in case that helps..

[hervé]

lol, now I can open it again... I have no idea why... but worth investigating.

Hi Herve,

Surely you had a corrupted object in the scene when loading. If you have changed the objects and now it is opening it will be due to that the old reference was removed from the scene. It is a commun issue if you have exported objects from a 3d platform to the "objects" folder and then you import these objects from there. If they have the same name in the scene that the name which they was exported, when loading the scene again it will be loading objects from SD file which they were exported from realflow at the same time, and this might be causing the issue. It means if you import an object, e.g. house.sd, in RealFlow, and you simulate with that object a dynamic scene, the original house.sd will be overwritten, so when loading the scene again, RealFlow will load the reference for house.sd, but it was overwritten.
