Regards, J Post by TomG // Oct 29, 2008, 5:26am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Not sure tS exports to 3ds with textures, an absence of textures is a common problem I run into with 3ds (either importing or exporting). My advice is not to use that format, the recommended export format for moving between apps (in or out) is OBJ, through the LUUV plug-in. COLLADA might be an option too. HTH! Tom Post by jofan // Oct 29, 2008, 1:24pm jofan Total Posts: 56 Hi Tom, Not sure if ive done the right thing, but I saved out as directx to simply get the textures output to a file and then saved out as 3ds to get the model (I need 3ds for the application i need the model to go into) Eventually i managed to get my model into my end programme with textures displayed ok, so got the result in the end, but just seems a bit messy having to use other export options? Not sure if anyone can say for definate if Truespace does export textures when saving as 3ds format? J
