Newbie Question: .3DS imports not working

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions
#1

Hello all,

I am trying to import a .3DS file into Blender 2.5.2 Release 18847 of a human brain here:

When I import the file, the individual pieces are all centered in the middle of the axis. Anyone know a way to correct this?

(Speaking of Newbie, I just realized I put this in the wrong Forum… sorry about that!)

Use a stable version of blender. Blender 2.49b loads the .3ds file perfectly. Save the blend then open in 2.5 if you need to use that version.

I wonder when the import scripts will be working again for 2.5 as some seemed to have stopped working and others have gone from the addons list. I guess these will be fixed at some point though as 2.5 gets updated.
