pradipta Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I am using 3dsmax9 and vue 6 xtream. I have some issues with the integration part and it just not working. 1. I made a building (dimension 20*19 meter) in 3dsmax and exported it to vue 6 xtream. The model under vue seems much much bigger than the actual dimension. Its showing as 100 times scaled up in vue even when the unit is same as I used in 3dsmax. 2. Once I export the a max building to vue in 3ds format it losses all the textures applied to it. And in vue I cannt understand how to assign the material again. Is the obj format a better option in bring the max model in vue? I will appreciate some information on this regard, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notamondayfan Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 why are you exporting to xstream? the whole point of xstream is to be able to control vue from inside max, so using all your max models, textures etc. however if you are exporting to vue, export as a .obj format as that stores texture coords.

Devin Johnston Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 There is a scaling problem in Vue, usually you have to export you 3DS and change the scale factor from 1 to 10. It sounds like you have the opposite problem where your model is to big so try reversing your scale factor in vue. It won't matter what format you export in because no materials will be brought into Vue from Max. You have to recreate all your materials and lighting which is another reason why Vue sucks.

louis.cho Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 yes, vue has its own units who is 1vue units=10cm. i must say it's annoying for those who want to work at real scale like us. The pipeline I found don't correct that but can live with it. Your building stay in max so just make the environment in vue 100x bigger and when you import it in max it will be ok. I don't know why EOn soft don't make it straight 1:1 units with real scale like any other software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is because they aren't serious about trying to capture the arch viz market, if they were they would have made these changes long ago.
