exporting models

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:38 pm Post subject: exporting models

I have an building model that the lights weren't working on and since then I created lights that work, but I don't want to try and copy the light positions (that process never seems to work for me) I want to import the model to the proper lights. When I import it always comes in as a mesh. Is that normal? I have a few 3d max books ordered , want to get ahead of the game and can't wait for the books.

it all depends on the file type and how you saved that file type. Is it several heirarchy's, or is it a heirarchy with children? Some of them allow you to import as Mesh, EditablePoly, or whatever, and then some only import as a mesh. Theres tutorials that can explain this far better than I can.
