.AI files and 3DS MAX!!


#1

Hi there,

I am a newbie, I just want to import an .ai file to 3ds max 5 …
I wrote some text and converted it to curves then saved it as AI file, after that I imported it to 3ds max and everything was fine … but when I rendered it I saw some parts missing!! 3ds max only rendered the outlines of some of the text! why is that? I have the MAX file attached, can anyone help please?

Here is the file … http://www.libyano.com/test.max

u got too may open edges in that spline.
got to utilities/shape check and select the shape.
get rid of the extrude first.
it will show you the intersections.fix them then apply extrude and u r done.

I found a better way! open your AI with MAcromedia Flash, break it up (ctrl+B) then export it to AI again and open it with 3DS MAX! thats sweet!!! thanks anyway!
