Export to 3DS problem

[richardneail]

Hi,

I am trying to export a LW object file to 3DS but get the following errors.

3ds Export Operation Failed - code 1

3DS Export Polygons with 3 vertices only

I have tried trippleing the model before I export it but it doesnt seen to work still.

Is there any way around this apart from redoing the model?

Thanks

Use this http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/dexp/ you can download a demo to try it out.

3ds exporter should work just fine, make sure the plugin is loaded, as for geometry you have to tripple all polygons and unweld all vertices, if you want to export UVs you have to assign some bitmap to it first otherwise UVs won´t be exported...

Hi,

Thanks for the help I will give http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/dexp/ a try.

brtk , the plugin is fine and exports other models but for some reason even when I tripple this model it still wont export.

Hi,

WizCraker thanks for the help thats a pretty good program and seems to do the trick, Cant understand why the plugin for lightwave cant just do it & you dont have to put your model all on one layer to export it like you do in lightwave.

Thanks again
