3ds capping holes

Lord McMutton

I'm trying to get a 3ds model into Gmax. It has many holes in it:


Whenever it gets imported, the holes are capped, and I don't want that to happen. Is there any way to prevent it?

Mark Dygert

what format are you using to export/import?

Wireframe?

I import it into Accutrans in .cob format, and export it to 3ds format, where the holes are capped.

humm... never used Accutrans or .cob format so I can't be that helpful with regards to that work flow. BUT there are easier ways to get models from Max to Gmax using a few plugins/scripts.
3ds importer v1.1 - gmax
OBJ importer v1.1a - gmax
Quake-3 md3 importer v1.0 - gmax
