[Optimus Prime]

Hi

i searched about an hour for a helpfull thread, but there are to many and all i looked in wherent a help, so i have to make a new topic.

How can i open 3d0 files in 3ds max? I want to edit some units. Or isnt thatt possible with 3ds max?

thx!

I highly doubt that 3ds max can open .3do files, because .3do is quite honestly an obscure and isolated file format. You would have to export your file in another format. Upspring can export a unit's 3d model in both .obj and .3ds format, the former 3ds max ought to open, and the latter is the 3ds max file format.

Yeha made a 3do importer for max back in the day, for R3 and R4. Last I heard it was broken in R7. Not sure on R6.

There's 3dsmax 3do im/exporter on http://www.clan-sy.com, but it only for version 3 and 4 (which also works with 5), any later version seems to fail.
