AGAIN: no materials in 3ds export - please answer.

did not succeed in getting my materials made in 3DSMax to acrobat 3d. either through the 3d toolkit. especially i did not get any transparent materials and no reflexions. there must be an easy way not to redesign every single material again ? thanks a lot for all answers !

Hello brucebra,

Did you use the Acrobat 3D "Convert" or "Capture" function to bring in your 3DSMax model. They are different methods. The Convert function is more in-depth where-as the Capture function simply attempts to capture what you currently have in your OpenGL display buffer (like a print screen).

i used the convert method. the best way was to write a *.ASE -file (ASCII) and load that into the acrobat 3d-tool.
