.map To .3ds Gets My Textures Lost.

<div class="IPBDescription">for 3dsmax rendering</div> I have a small (leaky) .map file and want to convert it into 3dsmax to render it there.

Converting to .dxf and loading that into max4 gets me all textures lost and converts the map into one big object. Why cant i keep my textures?

loading the .map into 3dexplorer (deep exploration) to convert that into .3ds twists, moves and randomizes some textures when importing to 3desplorer but keeps most of them in place.

    i would think it has something to do with the texture coordinates and how max and hammer have a different system i have no idea how you can fix it tho

    im not a big fan of modelling, but i think you might have to reset your textures on the modelling program, as textures EXTRACTED from wally TO the models. easy enough to say, this would take a LARGE some amount of time 0_o

    there are no grouping in autocad.. hence, all textures are lost because they are seperate textures per-grop.

    and your map now becomes one group, since autocad also has no grouping.... (not sindce i last used it at least)

    hence... dxf = the devil

    No complaints about autoCAD from me because I use it to do my technical engineering drawings and I'm sure as hell not doing them in the old fashioned way.
