RE: FLASH: 3DSMAX -> Dimension -> Flash?

[pete clark]

Nope, Dimensions does not support any 3d formats. And nope, there is no way

to get your models from 3D Studio into Flash other than hand tracing. Bummer

huh?

If you want a good tutorial on the hand-tracing method, go to

http://www.manoone.com


BUT, you have not wasted your money on Dimensions. Anything you can created

with Dimensions' crude modeling and animation tools (very crude) is easily

imported into Flash, but not without a LOT of cleanup. I've managed to do it

successfully a few times and the only step it really saves you is the

hand-tracing. You still have to redo the gradients in Flash by hand. If you

are interested in trying it out, email me and I'll give you more detailed

instructions.


Good Luck!
