i have tried to export a mesh in stl format.
In the dialog window, we have the option for “stl files” and “all files” in the same line, like in the image attached. Is this right?
If i write the file name with the final “.stl” it works, otherwise the result are several files (.xmesh, .xmdata, and .mdata).
I tried to import the obtained stl file in other softwares:
in cinema 4d (r16 commercial and r17 demo),it gives me an error (unknow file)
That is a bug, the All Files entry should have been the last entry on the list, but a delimiter must be missing in the code, making it appear next to STL.
Thank you for the report, I will log that!
Normally, you should be able to select STL from the list and only specify the file name without .STL extension and it would save as STL.
The XMesh / XMData files are the Thinkbox XMesh file format which is the default Mesh caching file format of Sequoia. However, it is not optimal for data exchange with other applications because only 3ds Max, Maya, Nuke and Sequoia are able to read it at this point (more to come).
If another application cannot read our STL, it might be a bug in that application, especially if it imports in other applications.
I will try to test STL import into C4D and see what happens…
