Hi,

... i don't know if this answers your question... but the texture size must be 2^x [pixel] (width and hight) i.e. 256x256, 1024x512, 64x256 and keep the texture as small as possible. With less details there is no need for a texture 1024x1024.

Oh I was referring to my texture names. The 3ds format I use requires the name to have 8 characters or less. (8.1 format)

I've been exporting models from 3dsMax 7 with no issues. The only error I've encountered was texture names. I had to keep them 8 digits or less. Where did you find the example model? I was not able to find it in the forum.

BahnLand,

Thanks, I saw the post and the screenshots, but didn't know what file they were editing. This info is very helpful

Hi Richard,

I'm new to this program as well. I am currently making 3d models of some old Tyco train collection my grandfather gave me back in the 1970's. I have been able to use 3ds Max 7 and export as .3ds with success. You can use Sketchup 8 to export the models in .x format, but it has to be that version. I would really like learn how to animate my car and engine models, but all the tutorials I've found on this site are in German.

Good luck.
