who can convert my file, i don't have max

[Dave Black]

I'd be glad to do it for you. Send the file here, as long as it's not too big:

tripletap@mindspring.com

I'll convert as soon as I get it.

If it's over 3 or 4 megs, host it.

so can u convert it to something i can import to XSI. like an .obj or .3ds

ok thx

oh ya when u finish can u drop it in my pubic ftp at

ftp.shaw.ca

user: nathanengler
pass: password

thx again.

[Dave Black]

Let me grab it and I'll covert it to .3ds and .obj

I don't think you'l like .3ds as you get triangulation...

But I'll let you decide.

I'll post when I have competed the upload.

Yeah, it's up there until you need it. Just let me know when you get it, and then I'll take it down.

Hopefully, you are out drinking beer...Unlike some of us who have a deadline tomorrow...

[Talos]

wtf... the damn thing crashes everytime i try and import the 3ds and the obj just crashes once i press "OK"


damn it!
:annoyed:

[Dave Black]

Well that blows. I did notice that the model is pretty heafty. Now, granted, I'm running a laptop right now...Of course:

1.6ghz
512MB DDR Ram
GeForce 4 440 Go

My system was crawling when i opened the file. It's very heavy. Lots of geometry. Perhaps that's got something to do with it. The .3ds file was a better export. I checked the .obj, but Max uses a very strange scale system, so the .obj disapeared. Usually, at least in my experience, .obj keeps the structural integrity of polys, as it does'nt triangulate, but the difference in scaling can really mess when translating to another app. If you got this model from someone, perhaps you could ask them to clean it up a bit, or seperate it into more pieces.

I'd do it for you, but as I said befire, I'm on a deadline. The holidays are almost here too, so it would be a week or more before I could get to it. I can try exporting with different options when I get the time.

I hope you get it working, that sucks big monkey balls...sorry, dude.

Hey, glad you got it, dude!

Have fun...
