Cheetah3D 3DS export
BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/Cheetah3D 3DS export|

| It appears the 3DS format that Cheetah3D uses doesn't isn't exactly compatible with Mini3D - for example a sphere is loaded in as a cube...  Either that or its not being loaded... Unfortunately there is no way of telling, as LoadMesh doesn't return NULL if something hasn't been loaded. |

| Can you upload a file for testing? | 
|

| The object I'm trying to load is TestObject.3ds, availiable at http://www.nicholaskingsley.co.uk/MiscThings/TestObject.3ds It should be a white pyramid, and not a white cube! |

| Ok, cant get it work here too. If I open it in Milkshape, it looks fine. Importing with minib3d or kleptos mod: a cube Saving with Milkshape in 3ds and opening in minib3d: a cube Exporting b3d with Milkshape: looks fine. | 
| 
 | ||
| Just a small hint: minib3d isn't able to load 3ds files. It doesn't matter what you try to load (other than b3d), if minib3d don't know the extension it will create a cube instead. |

| Thats a shame - what formats can it take ?  Is it just B3d ? |

|  Thats a shame - what formats can it take ? Is it just B3d ?   Yes, only b3d. But Kleptos mod for minibd3 supports 3ds and the file works fine. Dont know what I have done wrong testing it. |
