DennisA Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Do not know error code but if you are on a Mac generally if the Folder or file do not have permissions to write may be problem. Get info on jpg file or folder unlock then give permissions., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew West Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 My guess is that you have a corrupted jpeg somewhere in your materials. It should be obvious which one as it will have the good old red question mark on it in the preview. Sometimes it happens to me when the extension gets corrupted accidentally.

I'd think so too if 1) any of my materials were called "logo.jpg", and 2) if I had any materials applied... which I don't Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think that Form.z applies the term "logo.jpg" automatically to a lost or corrupt texture map. I for one keep most of my texture maps in one place. However, I have found that when a map is lost then form.z creates a new map in the Form.z folder under Textures. If it is corrupt then you won't be able to even open it in PS. Now for the issue of materials. Are you saying that you have no materials with any attached image files for your model? Now that would be weird to get that error. Has Tech given you any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatMNTishman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 ...two things that might help. its seems like all the way back in FormZ history, the jpeg format has been a bit wonky. I have trouble with jpgs that have a progressive compression in their save format and end up re-saving maps as a baseline compression in photoshop or other. This usually solves 99% of the problems. I sometimes will grab an image off the net no knowing its got the advance compression saved and this is when it wont map properly. The second issue is with the latest formZ and Mac Mojave. I've been having problems saving rendered views AS jpegs. The process can sometimes crash formZ, so I've gone back to my old standard of saving rendered views as compressed tiff files.

Correct - I am not creating or applying ANY materials, just letting the default material do its thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
