3DS to .obj

>>(Wavefront) converter utility out there. I've<<
I've got an OBJ to 3DS convertor on-line on our BBS [The Rendering Plant,
816-525-0103]… I haven't yet tried going the other way yet with the on-line
utilities at our BBS, but I will soon. One of our guys subscribers uses
Wavefront and wants access to all of our meshes, which are mostly in 3DS
format. He said that Wavefront wanted like $7000 for their DXF convertor. The
Syndesis one is only ~$300, though, and that seems pretty justifiable for the
cost frame usually associated with SGI work. Now I'm just wondering if it can
be done with any of the tools I have online… Granted, the Syndesis tools are
MUCH better; they retain materials, shading, heirarchy, etc. With the public
stuff, any conversion (or sequence of conversions) performed on meshes usually
just gets you the faces in 3DS, and you have to start from there.

Well, I checked. I can only translate Tpoly and 3D2 formats to OBJ. If you can
get DXF or 3DS into one of those, I can get it the rest of the way.
Thanks
