3ds Importer not longer works for blender 2.37

clipi · Post by **clipi** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 1:27 am

After updating to blender 2.37 I am unable to import 3ds files.
The geometry imports allright but the textures are not longer imported.
Does anybody knows of an updated 3ds importer for 2.37.
I tried installing 2.36 but now it also can not import textures.
I have hear other people having the same problem.

Thanks for your help!

I'd try with .obj instead.

Hello Ideasman
I just emailed you the most recent (as far as I know) 3ds import script. So you can take a look at it.

Thanks so much!

Thanks but I found the version I have was 0.81, yours was 0.7... Will take a look and update all the same.

I look forward to testing version 0.81 with the compatibility update.

Thanks again.

Thank so much for the script 0.8 it seems better but I am still not able to import textures. I guess you did not fix the texture problem yet right?

Thanks again.

I also tested it, and my textures did not work either.
I so wish blender would have proper 3ds support for import / export.

Jep, it would great to have a real good 3ds export and import.

There are other python projects for 3ds:

May usefull for make it better.

And what about native 3ds support (3ds is such an important format) using
lib3ds ?

Fairly sure that one works- Willian made some fixes too,

I did not have much time and do not know the format, but it is time for a proper 3ds format support. We need somebody that continue development. May something for Googles Summer of Code?
