	I don't think you can convert the Jedi Starfighter ETA-2. Unless there's a plug-in I don't know about -----signature----- Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is . . . Consumed by Darth Vader

	Import/Export Scripts - Including a .3ds importer. Or Floatcode's EZ Tutorial On .3DS (And Friends) Importing You will need at least a trial version of 3D Studio Max for this STEP 1: Get your .Max, .3DS, or any other 3D Studio Max-importable file ready. STEP 2: Open 3D Studio Max and open/import the file you would like to import to Blender. STEP 3: Highlight the mesh or mesh segment that you want imported to Blender with your scroller in the Perspective Window of 3D Studio Max. STEP 4: Go to file>export. Name your file but don't save it as a .3DS. Instead, where it says "Save Type As", scroll down to StereoLitho (.STL). Does the StereoLitho (.STL) file type familliar? That's because it's one of the importable file types on Blender (and no, you don't need Python). Go ahead and save the file, i.e. "yourmeshname.stl". STEP 5: The last (and most obvious) step here is to open Blender. Go to file>import>STL... ...and import that file! There! It's done! It works incredibly well (the texture isn't imported, but you could always just re-add it yourself), and you don't have to use any faulty Python scripts! DON'T PAY: Don't want to pay for 3D Studio Max? Download a trial version and export as many files as you can within the 30-Day evaluation! - From www.blenderwars.com, (couldn't link directly to a forum page) -----signature----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joe "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." - Dan Quayle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

	So my 3ds plug-in works for max files? Ok, I didn't know that. Edit: OK I take that back. You can't. I didn't find a plug-in on the ling you gave for .max files -----signature----- Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is . . . Consumed by Darth Vader

	Sadly, there isn't a plug-in out there that can read .max files - you'll have to use the demo for 3DS Max or possibly a tool like Deep Exploration for that. Good luck! -----signature----- CK Hicks http://www.ckhicks.com http://dveditor.deviantart.com TFN on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202937735

	Dang. Then I need someone to convert the Jedi Starfighter ETA2 from a .max file to a .3ds or .lwo. And yes I need all .max files that are contained in the zip file converted. -----signature----- Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is . . .

	DVeditor posted: a tool like Deep Exploration for that. I think even for Deep Exploration you need 3ds Max installed on your system to convert .max files. -----signature----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joe "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." - Dan Quayle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

	You're probably right - the only time I've used it was when Max was installed so I'm not sure one way or the other. Sounds perfectly logical though. -----signature----- CK Hicks http://www.ckhicks.com http://dveditor.deviantart.com TFN on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2202937735

Press the Scene Button (F10) On the far right top line, specify the file path. On the far right change JPG to MOV Under the Anim tab, specify the range of frames, then press ANIM. -----signature----- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joe "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." - Dan Quayle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
