no textures when importing

Post by rpmaguire » 23 Nov 2013, 07:19

Is there anyway to import a model from 3dsmax to softimage with the materials intact?

Models are coming through fine ,but no materials...I have tried .FBX, .OBJ & .3DS

Or is there a 3ds max material to softimage material converter?

Moving materials/trees between 3D apps is something that will not happen, due to the differences in renderer, workflow etc.

Normally there's some kind of base material connecting textures and such for a exported scene.
Try the .xsi exporter for 3dsmax, that might give you the best results here.

But prepare yourself for some rebuilding of rendertrees and such.
