All,
What's the trick to importing a 3ds model (say with 3dwin) and then being
able to convert the udo to a mesh, again? I'd read it somewhere in this
group, but can't find it anywhere. All my imports leave the convert to mesh
button greyed out. (I'm using 3.5RC2.)
Also, are there any advantages (ie better quality models) when using obj or
any other format over 3ds format? Thots?

There are two ways to do this that I have found.
1. Convert the 3DS file into a RAW file with 3DWin then in Moray (if you
have the 3DWin plugin);
File > Import >3DWin Special
Import the RAW file then convert to Mesh
2. Convert/export the file to an Alias Wavefront *.obj file theb convert
the *.obj file to a UDO using PoseRay.
This will convert to Mesh.
The second method is the one I prefer.
I use OBJ because I like the way PoseRay converts the materials from Poser 4
also my copy of Poser does not produce 3DS files that the current 3DWin reads.
I've not noticed any difference in model quality, but then I've not looked.
Regards
Stephen

3dwin.

Thanx, Stephen, I'll look into these options...

Hi,
Plugin for Moray that provides import of a few standard mesh formats,
noteably: Wavefront obj, 3DStudio. No problem for convert to mesh
