Ambient lighting when Exporting to .3ds
-
Hi Guys,
I have recently been exporting a few .3ds files from SketchUp and when i take them into another package i get dark faces. On further inspection with Deep Exploration i found that the ambient material was set really dark (almost black). I had a good look around but can't seem to find a fix, apart from changing the ambient in DeepEx. Any help would be awesome!Cheers

Hi coreymurray,
I moved your post to the main SU forum for better exposure.
Unfortunately I myself cannot help you but someone will definitely do.

I don't really know anything about the 3DS file structure, but I would guess that as SU itself has no other material properties than colour and texture, the exporter would set all the other required values to something considered as a default. Most users export 3DS in order to render the model in some external rendering application by adding lights and other features not available in SU. In the applications I have used, the ambient property of a material, makes it glow quite unrealistically, so I would have had to turn it off. I am not even sure that the property is set by SU. If it is optional, the problem might even be with your receiving application or its settings, if it adds a black ambient "channel" if your 3DS file has none.
Just blundering guesses
