Questions about Sketchup 7.1 and/or V-Ray (by DiditzZz)...
-
Hello My name is Samuel Edyson and I'm a college student with desire to learn to achieve awesome 3D like you guys do. I started this thread dedicated to my questions regarding Sketchup and V-Ray since I'm a new user in SKetchup + VfSU (thus, there'll be many things happening that I may not understand). Henceforth, any questions that I have will be directed to this thread. I hope this community can help and thank you in advance for those willing to answer any questions in this thread. Here I go.

Hi Sketchucation Community. I am a regular 3dsMax+V-Ray user and I believe many people here are using 3dsMax+V-Ray besides SU+VfSU. I am just wondering if anyone happen to use models (furnitures, etc) designed for 3dsMax use, such as the Archmodels from Evermotion? Well anyways that is not important, my point of question is that how do one import a .3ds file correctly into sketchup? I find the models broken most of the time. Here's the example.
This is what happens when I import .3ds file from evermotion (archmodels vol. 36) into sketchup
But this is what it should appear in 3dsmax
Well If anyone happen to know how to fix this issue, or maybe even give me a source of models (some websites) that gives high quality models for general use (used for common program like 3dsMax but still can be used for sketchup), would be much better. After all, I cannot map the materials very well in most of the models I download from google warehouse (e.g. the fabric, cloth or leather material on sofa, office chair or lounge chair cushion, etc).
Another question is, when I bought evermotion's archmodels, some of their volume gives not only .3ds and max file, but also these extensions: c4d, dxf, fbx, fryrender, maxwell, mental ray, mxs, obj & scanline. I believe someone very knowledgeable about these programs can please tell me if they can be used for sketchup model importing? what about .3ds models compared to models with these file extensions? I need to know...
Lastly, thank you everyone for reading my questions. I hope I made it clear so that everyone can easily understand what I mean... If anyone is interested in trying to import archmodels (evermotion's model for 3dsmax's vray), please contact me and i'll gladly share some...

Hi there samuel, i'm mesraem and i'm new to this forum. I've been experiencing this kind of problem sometime ago when i imported .3ds file to sketchup but i have no clues yet on how to resolve it, well anyways i just want to share this site to you http://www.i-urban.net it has lots of free max files and other format that could be imported directly to sketchup like .dwg/.dxf file and .3ds as well.
