Re: A tree export question... 2004-04-25 - By JBakerStudio
Back
Everyone thought that it was and you guys here are a good bunch so I
passed it along. It is pretty cool.
Can any of you remember... Will RDS 5(Mac) or, Infini-D 4.5(Mac),
import ans well as export VRML? The check box in the tree editor works
great, DXF as well as 3ds both produced leaves on export and import to
Strata 3.9... In, VectorWorks 10.5.1, there are a VRML export option
but not an import option in the File menu. I got to ask about that on
the VectorWorks mailing list.
Massive polygons in the, DXF, (to be expected), but I have been
waiting for half an hour with a dual 1ghz G4 maxed with ram to be able
to select and group the leaves for texturing separate from the branches
and trunk. Whhoo Hooo! :) I love it. All we ever wanted was a tree
generator a few years ago... this is a cool software. I really like
the way that, Carrara 3, and, Poser 5, are so closely matched and
afford an artist the capability of utilizing "all" of the tools that
one collects together to work with.
