XFrog to 3ds max 2008

[kbotnen]

Hi.

 

I am trying to establish some kind of workflow with XFrog trees exported as .obj and imported into 3ds max 2008. Does anyone have a good workflow for this?

 

Here are the ressult of my effort so far. The overview scene is just to show the lightning setup, it's rendered with some other trees. The palm closeup shows the problem. After going over a lot of the materials and add opacity map according to alpha in bitmap manually it renders something like a palm, at first it as only white where alpha was supposed to be. But it still seems kind of odd with some self.ill going on.

 

Is there a better way to transfer Xfrog models to 3ds max 2008? The old plugins wont work anymore :/
