I’ve been hunting around for a blender exporter to 3ds max, the internal one didn’t even come close to working…so, while I google and scan the horizons for an exporter I thought I might aswell ask here too.
Anyone know of a blender -> 3ds exporter that works?
There is none better (or worse) than the piece of crap that is bundled with Blender. Import 3ds is (relatively) well maintained though. Time and resources are lacking I guess ; maybe interest too ?
For import/export Wavefront OBJ format is the gateway of choice at this moment. Most 3d app have plugins for it since it is a real standard. If not you’ll have to find a file convertor. I don’t need them so I don’t know them sorry.
I’ve never managed to get smoothing to export into 3DS from blender and I’ve never even tried animation. OBJ or VRML have both worked well for me in the past.
