Any help on my 3DO builder problem?

Post by jcnossen »

I've been trying to convert a model into 3do, but 3DO Builder is not really helping me.
I've tried 3DS max 6 and blender to build a model and convert it to DXF (both can export these) and load that into 3DO builder. Problem is, 3DO builder never shows anything of it, it doesn't give an error it just doesn't show any geometry from the file.
Then there is the 3do plugin for 3dsmax by the SYs but it's only for 3dsmax 3 and 4 and doesn't load in 6.
So does anyone have any clues for me? What are you using to build models?

Tried LWO, it doesn't work either. It has the same problem as DXF: it just doesn't show anything in 3DO builder.

throw those proggy away!!
grab lightwave discovery or anim8or, they are free and good and make proper polygonal model, not like uberheavy resourcesucking overly expensive 3d s MAX...
