What happened?!?

[Cold As Ice10129]

so I was working last night and it was fined, rendered and saved it. Well this morning I open it up and it looks like this. What the hell happened!?!

[tomsullivan]

two thing could have happened,

it could be a gf problem, try updating video card drivers, or even goin back an update sometimes work.

or you could have an error in the max file it self.

it most likely to be a gf problem

[Cold As Ice10129]

that would make sense, becuase i have been having problems with this video card. So i ordered a new one, and it should be here today or tomorrow. So if I install the new one, the problem should go away? And if not then my drawing is screwed...lol?

[tomsullivan]

i am not saying it will go away, but from wat i have seen with those types of problems it normaly video card driver related, or if the gf card is overclocked and cant handle it anymore

[ColdFlame]

i think it is cuz of max...dunno if ur graphics card is broken then why u get that wire??? it is possible but cpu calculates wire and gfx card gives it a surface...but still possible...

[Cold As Ice10129]

its an ATI Xpress 200, so its not like its top of the line.

[ColdFlame]

i didnt even have that problem with my 3dfx voodoo banshee but uh worth trying lol .) i hope u get rid of it soon. it is annoying

That is weird one, try to merge the file if it would help :/

since it appears that the erroneous mesh is being rendered out as still erroneous, I would say your max file got slightly corrupted.

Select the object, Reset Xforms, export to .3ds, close max

open max, import the 3ds, delete the junk areas, weld any open vertices, reset x-forms, and save as a new file. Close max.

Open max, then open your file you saved out... then start over again on the parts that got messed up
