Export OBJ with textures. Help pls..

[onesimo]

hi everyone! i want to export my max files with textures to obj format so that i can use it on sketchup but it doesnt seem to work. im using 3ds max design 2011 and sketchup 8.

export in .3ds format. The only format SU imports.
Be careful now!

1. Texture files must be in same directory with the 3ds file. Paste them there.
2. Texture names must have less than 8 digits!!! Rename them in max.
3. There's a limit of ~64K faces per mesh. The whole file may contain some meshes though, its OK.
   Thats all. It should work fine. If you see the mesh only without textures check paragraphs 1,2
   It took me some days to understand this.

or use TIG's obj importer.
