Import materials from 3DSMax
-
hello,
transferring geometry from 3dsmax to sketchup is fine through the .3DS filetype. However, how do i export the materials from 3dsmax to sketchup, too? my googling hasn't brought up any fruit yet

thanks for any tips.
-
Have any image files in the same folder as the 3ds file?
-
no, as all textures are in a separate folder.
-
The 'colors' are set within the 3ds file.
The 3ds file will be looking for any textures' image files in a certain place.
So either keep the relevant folder of images with the 3ds file OR put the images in the same folder as the 3ds file.
If the 3ds file has an absolute path set inside it, then I'm unclear how we might find that out...
