3ds Max 7/8/9

Does anyone have an old copy of 3ds Max 7/8/9 I can use? I need it for detaching some OBJ elements.

You can also use Blender for editing obj files. Or works it with 3ds Max better?

I tried blender, but it wouldn't import into Silent 3ditor correctly.

Somewhere on one of my many external SSD's I still have 3D Max 3.1!
I'm not about to dig through over 20 Terrabytes of stuff though.

I know what you mean, because I have the same problem with SH5 and TDW‘s GR2 editor.

Jeff-Groves · 06-04-22, 02:42 PM

TDW's program is very finicky about how an obj file is setup for import.
There's also the problem of files screwed up from early versions of his program.

Xerxes asked me about helping do a tutorial for SH4.
I'm thinking a good one about how to get obj files properly ready for import with S3D would be a good one.

So, Xerxes, send me the obj files you couldn't import from Blender so I can use those to do a tutorial.

Improper objs are also an issue with the GR2 importer by TDW and a lot of what applies to S3D, applies to TDW's importer.

The Blender proggy has settings for when a person imports obj files, and again when a person exports them. If not set correctly, they can make a seemingly good obj file impossible to work with in S3D. My COVID mush-brain cannot remember who it was that pointed me to correct settings... gap? vickers03? kapuhy? someonelse?...

- Anyway, that is the main problem (usually) when working with Blender-ized files.

As well as the free Meshlab ... https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/releases , https://www.meshlab.net/
You can also work very well with it.
