Reimport Mesh turns scene blue

[the_redmage]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has come across this as searches have left me empty handed. When reimporting a mesh (only certain ones it seems) it take a while for it to reimport and then when it does my whole scene turns blue. Yep Blue Blue, and then the objects in the scene become unselectable. I don’t know if this is something that is being switched on by accident or it is a bug.

For reference check out this screen capture:

Hey the_redmage,

There potentially could be a lot going on here that could be contributing to this issue so I’m going to need you to narrow down a few things.

• Could you test to see if this reproduces in a blank project by importing the bugged mesh.
• If not test this next in your actual project but in a new default map and let me know what happens.
• If this only occurs in the map shown in the screenshot and only in your project this may be a content issue. From that point I would suggest duplicating that map and then removing all irrelevant content so you know exactly what assets/actors in the scene are causing this to occur.

Once you have narrowed all of that down let me know how that goes. I may ask you to provide a small sample project that reproduces the issue as well.

TBH this kind of looks like something is going wrong in a postprocess material but I can’t be sure.

Hey Ed,

Haven’t spent too much time on this but wanted to report back that this is some really messed up (to the point of funny) issue. Definitely would love to know how to package and send your way to see if you get the same results/dissect.

I tried a new blank scene and placing the static mesh that is a known issue in the scene. No problems. Then do a re-import and it ghosts the whole fbx, instead of just re-importing the single mesh and updating it.

If you want me to look through a project to see if I can uncover the underlying issue I would recommend using the “Zip Up Project” Feature under File > Package Project > Zip Up Project since this removes saved and intermediate data automatically. (See screen).

Upload that to dropbox or good drive and then send me a link to download. If you want more privacy you can send the link in a PM to my forum account.

Let me know once you do that and I can poke around to see what I find.
