import 3d max in flash?

[alexandros]

I have created a wire frame 3d design in 3dmax and i want to import it into Flash is there any way to do it or just import it? I 've tried that but nothing.....

any idea? :(

hey alexandros,

Try and get hold of swift3d. I believe that you can import 3dmax files into swift3d. The advantage of doing that is that once you have your shape in swift3d, you can then export it as a .swf file which can be imported straight into flash.

thank you for answering but could you give some more details? In fact i have no idea what swif3d is... :rolleyes:

is it a plug in i got to download or something similar? I had to do something like this to combine 3dmax and director8.5..


thank you once again..

swift3d is a 3d program by a company called electric rain. It is very basic as far as 3d software goes but it has the advantage of being able to output .swf files.

I think it costs about 150UKP but i'm sure you can pick up a demo from somewhere. Try their website www.erain.com

hope this helps

You mean that if i do not get this software i won't be able to import 3dmax into flash???

thanx again for your imidiate response.. :)

unfortunately i tried that but there are no demo (trial) versions !
when the program first came out there was a trial(for a short time)

You can export your mesh as a wmf or dxf and import that into flash easily enough.

shore for a simple image but you only get the wireframe?(no shadows no highlights) !
and if you use this method on complex shapes for animations you
cad go :rolleyes: very fast!

You can actually import some very complex meshes without hurting Flash too much... and fortunately the request was for the importation of a wireframe design. So .wmf should suit alexandros' purposes. :)

Hi there! Everyone talks and uses swift3d!I recently changed my graphics hardware to a 3d Accelarator but before i had several problems with swift!
Try»llustrate!™ 5.1« , it's a plug in fo 3d max! you can get the trial here

Cheers!

Hi
I personally use Swift3d 2 or Poser 4 Pro Pack in combination with 3d Studio Max.
You can build objects with 3d max and later on, import into these programs,
I believe that the cost is acceptable and convenient.
And take into account that the Ravix2 system is much more powerful and allows to catch up optimal results.

I dont know anything about swift 3d, but do you know if it imports maya scenes too, I have wanted to do that for quite a while.

If you need to know any thing about it, I use swift 3d. It's a nice program.

goto Export in 3ds, then choose the output as .3DS. Later, go back to Swift 3d, choose New from 3Ds. This is COMBO-OWNING
