Belated Happy Christmas to you and a Happy New Year also.

 

Can I ask you, you advise to download a collada exporter and the FBX.

Why not use the native one in MAX 2011?

Is there a reason?

 

Did you ever find out who did the voice on your tutorials ?

 

Thank you

Remko made the tutorials and he found some polish internet voice.

 

I don't really know which collada exporter is best. I would say use the one that works best for you. I think that Artur might have tried those and thought they where working correctly. I tried to find the voice website for you but couldn't find it so I'll have to wait till next week to ask Remko himself.

Best results you get with the opencollada exports

I found out that the standard max collada exporter seams to use a different file notation for texture reference with relative paths.

Also the open collada format is most used when developing the import system.

OpenCOLLADA_3ds_Max_1.3.0.rc.7z

 

What sort of  an extension is that ?

and there is no 64 bit version unless this works with it.

Any ideas?

7Z is a 7-Zip Compressed File

Can be opened with for example winrar

Thank you for that.

I brought a very large model in today.

2km x 1km in size.

Came across some issues as it looked too big for the world platform it was sitting in to ie flat terrain.

It was a very large block model master plan.

 

Is there a limit to the space a model can occupy with in the terrain?

 

Thank you

Yes there is now a world size limitation.  0.5km (or was it 1km..)

You can bring in any model. We clip at 4 km distance but you should still be able to place it. You can paint the lumion base terrain in a 2kmx2km terrain. But you can place bigger models inside.

 

You might need advanced move to move your model more easily.

I can not get the Open colada to unzip with rar says it's currupt.

I have found fbx  is not clean and no textures come in.

So what is the best option for max 2011 to lumion3D.

it seems sketchup is much cleaner and simpler to bring in why is that?

What kind of problems do you run into with max2011 .fbx Philip?

I've exported dozens of very complicated meshes like this and have had zero problems thusfar.

Perhaps I've been lucky...

Hi Philip,

This is OpenCollada RC in zip format:

http://support.quest3d.com/ima.....3.0.rc.zip

 

Just copy COLLADAMaxNew.dle file to your plugins folder (ex. Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\stdplugs).

Let me know if it works for you please.
