3dsmax direct export to GTL/GTR2 ?

[umma gumma]

hey, I'm having problems with the smoothing when I export from 3dsmax to 3dsimed, to GTL

right now I

1. export as .3ds from 3dsmax
2. import to 3dsimed, apply new textures or rename 8bit 3dsmax textures
3. smooth object
4. save as .gmt


is there a utility to export directly from 3dsmax as a .gmt file, that preserves the proper poly smooth information? I get a lot of artifacts/funky polys the way I'm doing it now

thx!

get the same problem so i am interesting bye the solution too

the only solution i get at the moment is to do an up normals in 3dsimed :(

[morning_wood]

do not use "smooth" or "up normals" in 3dsimed - they ruin the model

unf. there's not much option...unless you want a faceted car

I'll go hunt around the other forums, I figured more people were into this

thx
