Possible shortcut for making buildings / bunkers etc..

Hi,

Found out that Worldcraft 3.x allows you to export DXF file formats.
So you can build your building in Worldcraft and export it as a dxf and then merge it back into 3D Max or Gmax? :D

(Best functionality for hollow & carve etc.. you would have thought 3DS would have had it.. probably has but you probably need Nth number of steps to do it)... :idea:

You could also probably design it as scenery :) - still working my way through that tutorial... :idea:

Anyway.. I gave it a shot but had some problems, from initially sapien not seeing the building to open faces? error...

So if anyone else wants to try this possible shortcut (instead of fighting with 3D max or Gmax).. let me know how you get on... and if you get it working - share the knowledge..... :!: :!: :!:

:) :D

Have you tried using 3DMax to build rooms, messing around with verts etc... It's too damn painfull....

Although the tuts are pretty good, but the vids always look kinda fuzzy... And trying to follow them is hard work, at the best of times.. A word document will screenshots could do the job just as well..

If anyone can tell me how to get beter screen resolution on the tuts (so I can see the text and menu selections...) That would help..
