breaking mesh when importing into blender from MD

[cameelya]

Hello, so im having this continues issue when exporting mesh out of marvelous designer and into blender, my mesh seems to break at areas where my  seam lines are (where the garments were sewed in MD)  

here's a screen capture of my mesh when I imported it into blender, I have asked for help in inworld creator groups but none seemed to know what the issue is exactly, id appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Can you post a picture in edit mode? I really don’t see any “breaks” in the mesh.

[cameelya]

yes it doesnt exactly brake, but the mesh acts weird at the seamlines as you can see in the pic ive attached above

here are two pics of the same angle in  object and edit mode

From looking at it in edit mode it looks like you have some kind of modifier on the green edges. I think that’s what you have a problem with right?

Im not quite sure what the green color means. In my settings sharp edges are a cyan color. So it looks like it’s some sort of shading issue you have going on there. Possibly two meshes on top of each other. 

What are your export settings from MD looking like? Can you post that?

Actually, I looked at it in object mode and edit mode a couple more times.

It’s definitely a shading issue. Select the whole object and recalculate the normals. Give that a shot.

i just tried flipping normal and this is what I got

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when I played with some details in MD like particle distance the effect changed of those gray parts where the seam line is but never solved so my guess is that the issue is from MD, here are the settings of my export from MD  

and when I export I often get this message

but I tried looking into it more but nothing was much of a help

Possibly shading issue is caused by rotated vertex normals?

First image is of a section of your mesh:

 

Next image looks similar ....... The ugly shading in this image was caused by rotating some of the "split normals" .

 

Check to see if you have auto smooth enabled:

 

If so, enable Display Split Normals.

The direction of these split normals will be indicated by single pink lines. Zoom in close to a part of your mesh with the possible bad shading and check the direction of the pink lines emanating from the vertices. If they look weirdly rotated compared to their neighbors then that could be the cause of the problem.

In the image below I have marked some of the rotated split normals with red lines. The lines marked in blue are indicating examples of good, unedited split normals.

 

If this is how your mesh is looking you could try unchecking the Auto Smooth option and see how that effects the shading.

I had to look it up, the green lines indicate  edges that have been marked as Free Style edges.  Edge > Mark Freestyle Edge. I don't know what that means

For future reference, (It may help other people), can you confirm that when you dis activated  the Auto Smooth  option that fixed the issue or was it something else that you found?

yes it got fixed when I unchecked the "Auto Smooth", but I wasn't sure where to find that button at first, so here's a shot to show where I found it in blender 2.79

Thanks.

It never occurred to me that you were using 2.79  

Next time try to insert your images directly into your post. That way others will find it easier to solve similar issues

[cameelya]

sure thing, and ill actually go back and edit my replies to attach the pics then

Well, should be safe to assume most will still be on 2.79 as it's been the main version of blender for the last few years, and with the rather drastic change of UI 2.8 has, some will probably still prefer working in 2.79 till they get better acquainted with 2.8.
