Stl

Any tips on working with STL files? I have a very detailed statue that I need to import into MAX

Hi!
One way to optimizar could be to pass it trough mud box first and run the retopo tool to get a more acceptable mesh.
After that and if it still you need more you use vray proxy it depends on your tech specs and the density of the mesh
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

I got it in MAX by increasing the Smooth Angle from 30 to 45, and doing a quick weld. I have a fountain that has these deer on top, which look pretty cool. Hopefully I'll have something to post within a week. I have to show a waterfall, which worries me, but I am sure I'll pull it off. It's a still, so maybe I can create something convincing in PhotoShop.

How cool is this?

Very nice Bobby, you must be having a ball with this. Nice model to stick into your scene

Anyway, hope you can find this useful:

Haven't tried them myself yet, but may work for a quick cheat...
