AuntiAlias: Tip/suggestion/technique for importing models into Bryce.. type ! Danny: ! AuntiAlias: Danny, go for it Clay: Lonzo were discussing importing models into Bryce...... Danny: When you want to import a specific model kabir: I need some advice on getting modles from RDS 5.x into Bryce in a coherent way... Danny: Try using 3DS rather than anothr slow typing tonight PJF88: Why? AuntiAlias: Psst! a bit of protocol advice: when we do the anyone has idea, type "!" then that person has the floor! If you gotta question, type ? But... right now we're lookgin for tips lannie: I would like to know if you can export a obp out of Bryce as a 3ds or obj, or dxf. AuntiAlias: lanni Danny: While B4 can handle .cob and others ,it seems to handle that data better than other types AuntiAlias: like this: ? Rivak: the chaos begins... AuntiAlias: While Danny is typing, any of you others who have tips or techniques, go ahead and type ! lannie: ok AuntiAlias: I"ll get a queue going! Clay: ! AuntiAlias: So, Danny, yo'ure saying that 3DS comes into Bryce better than others do? PJF88: ? DigiVI: ! Danny: At this time B4 cant handle .cob very well AuntiAlias: (oh, and when you're done with your tip, please type "done" at the end so the rest of us know! thanks!) Queue: Clay, PJF88, DigiVI Danny: It'll also scramble some others as wewll Danny: done AuntiAlias: (second tip re: typing your tip.. if you are in the queue, go ahead and start typing your tip.. then you just hit return when I call on you!) Clay-- go for it! Clay: I have noticed exporting models out of ID4.1 as 3dmf for some reason, seems smoother than dxf when bringing them into Bryce, any others find that? They seem to smooth out better than dxf (done.) Danny: ! kabir: ? AuntiAlias: okay, anyone else have anythign to say about ID 3dmf, type !3dmf Wolfie: ! AuntiAlias: Danny, wolfie, if either of your commetns is in response to Clay, just go for it! :D Danny: OK lannie: I can't seem to import a 3dmf, why? Wolfie: no..about importing DEMs Danny: Clay ....That has to with the way you make a curve in AutoCad DigiVI: !3dmf AuntiAlias: Digi, go for it DigiVI: I tried to import a 3dmf file and bryce could not handle it Danny: Sometimes to keep the file size down ..The modeller willl only assign 20 or so sections for the curve DigiVI: the file was about 20mb Clay: I've never had that prob, but they seem to work better "cleaner" if you will Sky Pilot: Digi, "Out of Memory"? DigiVI: So over all, dxf worked best for me. Its slower to import then 3ds and for that mater 3dmf but it can handle large files AuntiAlias: Greets, those of you recently arrived. We're talking about tips/techniques, and the subect of the moment is 3DMF import... Clay and DigiVI have the floor DigiVI: ya Sky Pilot: Thought so Wolfie: !DEM-Bug DigiVI: done Sky Pilot: Auntie, whats the limit on import size? Clay: ok I'm done;_) AuntiAlias: k.. who is next? PJF88, go for it! DigiVI: I dont think there is a limit with dxf PJF88: Re Danny's point: Surely it depends on the model, you don't want 3ds if you need texture maps (as with Poser figures). You want OBJ for that. DigiVI: ?why Wolfie: I have imported a >20mb file in the past with no probs...takes a while but it worked Danny: Not really Peter
