[osg-users] 3D Studio Max (3DS) Output

[Gordon Tomlinson]

Look at Polytrans from www.okino.com or Deep Exploration from
www.righthemisphere.com

For a legacy format such as the old 3ds and not 3dsMax you may have to go
through an intermediate format to get to 3ds, from osg -> Poltrans/DeepEx
supported format -> 3ds ( both offer batch conversions, I have used both and
have tended to prefer the results from Deep Exploration especially with
OpenFlight conversion)

Thanks,  I spotted that one on my travels with google , but I think the name
of that project is a bit misleading. It seems to be a 3dsmax plugin that
supports export of osg format. I need something that exports from osg to
3ds. :-( Chris.
