Hi, I’m a newbie. :frowning:

I’m searching for a 3ds importing script that supports also texture.

I tried to use 3dwin to convert .3ds file in vrlm1 file but when I load vrlm1 file in blender texture are missing. :frowning:

Pheraps vrlm1 format doesn’t support texture but only surface solid tint?

I’m sorry for my english, I’m italian. :expressionless:

Regards
