I have been using TrueSpace to make 3ds and have been able to convert models I've made that include mutiple bitmaps. Up until today. If I make a plain block even with color it converts if I add a bitmap the dreaded Import File Error! stops me.
I have booted down reloaded , let it set , loaded TrueSpace at default and can't seem to figure it out? The problem is TrueSpace as other 3ds sources convert even with high face counts and multi bitmaps. Any other TrueSpace users out there with the same problem ? or any ideas at all ?

Hi Wayne,
I don't use Truespace so I can't help you there, but have you tried using OBJ format (If Truespace allows it) to see if it stops the Import File Error when trying to convert your models.

Hi Peter,
I have loaded some objs with luck and some 3ds. a few times it seemed like they might go because I would see the Translating bar for just a blink . I uninstalled 3DXchange and reinstalled, made 3ds on another stand alone computer with TrueSpace, Virus scan, system restored prior to the problem, made sure the jpg's are where they are ought to be , all with little and occasional luck ...
3DXchange has been " needing to close " from a fresh start on my first attempt to load a file often and " failure to read memory location at yahda yahda has seemed to be the cause. This did not happen a few days ago.
My next step I guess would be to yank the 2 gs of ram out and reseat them to see if thats the problem. I have loaded other progams and run them with positive results and would expect simlar errors with ram .
It will end up being some simple stupid thing but right now it has me CONFUZED

I also use truspace -
before plunking down the money on exchange, does it transfer texture and uv mapping also?

Hi dosclones,
Well sometimes it does and alot of times it doesn't. I have been trying to figure out why some very complex multiple textures and maps make it and work just fine and a somewhat simple object with a single texture gets Import File Error. I have found that if I take some apart and export individual objects I can then put them back together in iClone. I made a folder just for the Truespace 3ds and add the texture maps before I make the conversion so I know all the files are where they belong. I haven't given up yet.
As far as getting 3Dxchange , even with the problems I think it is worth having. If you decided to get it maybe the 2 of us can figure it out.
Take care
