DAN212222 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 hi guys hope every one is well... i was just wondering if there was any way to convert a .max file to a 3ds file without using 3d studio max programme, im doing some work for a client and they have gave me a source file which is .max but im using cinema 4d and need it to be .3ds so i can open it.... kinda first job so want to make a good impretion and dont want to be asking them to change file formats etc for me... any advice would be topper cheers dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 My advice would be to ask them if they have it in another available format. What other info do you have, what kind of client, what kind of job? If they are architects, chances are it was an autocad model brought into max. First job for this client, or your first pro job?

DAN212222 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 both, my first time working with this client, and my first professional job... with the oppertunity of further work... trying to create 3d visuals of a site, which is going to take over 10 years to complete, so they have requested i do a number of images showing the phases of the project, not particularly to a high standard of detail, but i am also going to create some more interesting visuals for them from ground level, and they also as yet do not have a identity for the project so i hope to talk them in to letting me develop that for them also, with regards to visual and web identity.,... cheers dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 In that case, dont be shy. Ive got plenty of experience and the first thing i would ask for off the client is ALL available data. They could surprise you with the amount of stuff they have which will be usefull, but they dont realise. For example, if they've had a professional survey of the site done, chances are it holds all the 3d data. If they have a max file, why model it all again? You command the same fee regardless, if the info is there take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN212222 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 CHEERS i think your right, why model it again.. lol... think il give them a ring and see what additional information i can get from them.... cheers dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Anyway, congrats on getting your first job. If you need a hand with anything drop me a line. Quoting/timescales etc can be a right ball-ache first time round. Good luck Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
