Cinema4d .3ds not working??
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Cinema4d .3ds not working??

| I have created several models in cinema4d in 3ds format, but when i load them into Blitz 3d, only one of the textures is displayed correctly. The parts of the object that I have textured in cinema4d that do not work in blitz are just white. Anyone know my. The texture directory is correct!!!! Help!! |

| Remember that .3DS has 8+3 character filename restriction (that's why it's called ancient crap file format): for example, your "HugeCockpitPanelTexture.jpg" texture name inside the Cinema4D becomes after .3DS export "HugeCock.jpg" - and not surprisingly the mesh can't find the correct texture. In fact I'll bet that the one texture that shows correctly has a filename that is less than 8 characters long... |

| Thing is why does only one texture display, if I turn off the texture that originally displayed, another the didn't, does then display. |

| Also Can c4d export in directx format. |

| WHat my modeller friend did, was to export in a lightwave format (.obj) maybe, then load it into ultimate unwrap, then save it as a .b3d file. The .3ds export always buggered up texture co-ords and stuff :/ |

| export to wavefront .obj then open in unwrap 3d or similar then re-apply textures (a pain on larger things) and save as 3ds..should work now... its something to do with 3ds format only supporting 1 uv per vert so maxon tell me, it can be worked around by "Splitting" the model into front/side/top and re-connecting it (BUT not re-welding/optimizing it) try it with a cube and cubic mapping, then split it front/side/top and then connect those parts (deleting the seperate ones) and exporting to 3ds works.. Its a shame cus max, any other 3d prog etc seem to handle 3ds's without this hassle :( |
