#"Invalid Normal Array"
4 messages in this thread
Hi. I am experiencing what seems to be a bug with 3D Studio v3, and I wonder if
I can get help with this — When I try to render some objects that I have
created
(either in the Shaper, or imported from Aldus Freehand) I get the error message
"Invalid Normal Array" and the render is aborted.
Invariably I find that my at least one object in the scene now has jagged,
garbled lines emanating from it.
The jagged line problem will also appear at times if I try to move, or rotate
one of my objects. Any ideas?
Thanks, in Advance.

Scott,
That sounds like a copy of 3DS R3 I saw that had the copy protection disabled
with a "pirate patch". 3DS ran fine for a few minutes, but soon the mesh got
garbeled–sprouting faces everywhere and the program would abort part of the
way through renders with the message, "Invalid normal array".

Your 3DS.exe has become corrupt due to a virus, hardware failure or a process
which inadvertantly adulterated the executable. Check your system for virus',
verify your hardware, and reinstall 3DS from your original install disks. If,
after this, you are still having this problem, contact your dealer for a new
set of floppies.
