Troubleshooting

As Pandoras Box evolves on its own pace, there might be issues when working with such external warp and blend files. If you run into issues, please check these measures:

Pandoras Box not applying the warp&blend correctly

There might be an issue with the format of the warp mesh. VIOSO 6 uses a triangulation, that Pandoras Box might not be able to process.

1. In Project Mode: Make sure to uncheck "Adaptive Triangulation" in the Export Node of the project design:

2. In Free Mode: Make sure to uncheck "Adaptive Triangulation" in the Export Settings:

3. Global Setting for all exports To set VIOSO 6 back to the old triangulation for any kind of export (caution!), you can make a change in the VIOSO 6 program settings:

   1. Open C:\Program Files\VIOSO6\SPeASY.ini

   2. Seach the Parameter bUseNewTriangulation and set to "0"

   3. Restart VIOSO6 and run the Export again
