I've been trying to export one of my Lightwave 7.5 models to .3ds, except I keep getting "3DS Export: Operation Failed - Code: 1 (3DS Export: Preliminary Processing Failure)" Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?

Sounds like you will either have to reinstall your savers directory or reinstall Lightwave. At least that is what I assume. I still use an older version than you have.

Forgot to mention that it's only one layer out of 8 that isn't exporting. When I copy the contents of the layer to a new object, it has the same failure. When I copy it to another layer that does export, that layer doesn't export either. When I boolean the layer to another working layer, the layer doesn't export. Do you think that there's something haunted about the contents of the layer? Maybe they're cursed.
savers directory? I could reinstall Lightwave, it wouldn't be hard, but bummer.
Sounds like the layer has some odd gemoetry that 3DS exporter can't deal with. Try merging points or triangulation, do your best to clean up the objects. Joe

I have to agree with Joe. If it is only one layer and the rest works then don't bother with a reinstall. It is way more likely something is beyond the ability of that exporter to handle. Check also to make sure all polies are planer and that you merge points as some formats can't handle those situations well and it will not export then.
.3ds requires that only triangles can be exported. Maybe I just need to clean it up a bit more before converting to triangles.
LOL Yeppers that could easily be the problem. It's been way to long since I needed to export anything I never gave that a thought.
