I'm getting this error "Fatal code: 001"

I'm using lightwave 9

@triShotFilms It really only works on very simple geometry. Try using a much simpler model and make sure there are no weird things like 2point polygons

This is a great video. I've watched the video but found that Crackit is only available for 7.5 and below. There's another plugin called BreakUp, does it render similar results? Will you be making a video for it?

[bugzilla2001]

Actually, Crackit will work with LW 9.5. I just did a test with it and it worked. I will look into BreakUp and see how that works. If it's better than Crackit then I will do a tutorial on that as well.

awsome, im checking that out. i created a character finally that turned out pretty nice in my opinion. but i cant seem to figure out how to make more polygons to make the fingers. how would i do that? nice tutorial as well, i have plenty of crash and explosion scenes scripted so thanks for posting :D

[bugzilla2001]

To add more polygons to the finger you can use the knife tool. I will post more on using the knife tool in future.

also, you can add start by collision so gravity won't effect until objects collide, just a bit simpler. Great videos by the way, shame i didn't see them when you uploaded them :)

brilliant, I've been doing this by hand :D

It keeps giving me the error "Fatal: Two points are on the same position"

I too am getting this "Fatal code: 001" I'm using LW 9.6 and I was just following this tutorial., I made the cube as you showed how, then when I went to the utilities tab and tried to use crackit the thing gave me that error.

Hi. I have LW 9.5 also and crack it just pops the Fatal Code 001 error. Do you know what may be causing this? What settings did you use?

[A3videos]

I also get that fatal code error everytime I try to use it... I am using LW 9.6 Did you get it to work?
