High poly 3D Max Object export

Re: High poly 3D Max Object export

Question: "Did anybody consider splitting up the mesh into several pieces so that it could be exported by 3ds???"

Answer:

But if you want to export, select the leaves, than go to the element selection, select some groups of leaves, and detatch it, and keep going, thats the way i do that.

Also you could always do what someone else said by exporting it in peices..

Like everyone says, just export the mesh from 3D Studio Max in bits,..

heh heh, sorry Damien!

p.s. what the heck is up with the forum lately? Yesterday it was almost impossible to modify a long post as the text scroll window would instantly scroll up to the top as soon as a key was released and today it won't let me insert quotes! I had to add and edit the ones above manually. :P

Thanks all for the info.
I tried the obj import plugin, it works. But it's veeeery slow, and doesn't import materials/textures.
Bottom line it's a black hole in SU's abilities.

I wonder why you would want to go from Max to Sketchup.
High poly objects are simply a nightmare for Sketchup.

Well for starters I'm a SU user. And the high poly tree that i wanted to export to SU was in Max format.

If you have access to Max, then I would start to learn that. It is the expensive price tag that stops me from using it so Im stuck with sketchup.

Re: High poly 3D Max Object export

I do have access to Max, but i'm using SU for so long time.
I would love to learn max, and maybe i will...

My use of modeling is 100% architectural so SU does the job pretty good in addition with VfSU.

In my office is that the models should be editable by everyone that mainly prevents Max.
