Hi,
Just thought I'd jump in:
You can use the Keyscripter to convert EDSMAC data into Keyframes for vehicles
in 3DS.
In 3D Studio Applied, the Release 4 Supplement, the fourth chapter shows you
how to create scripts that take data from an ascii file and convert it into
keys for a vehicle. Modifying the script file that comes with the book would
let you have a solution in a couple of days (assuming you have a passing
familiarity with BASIC or almost any other scripting language).
The book costs under $15 and you can get it over night from ADVANSTAR on (216)
891-3115.
Were it up to me I would post you script file – except that such a violation of
copyright would result in a $250 fine for each person that read the message.
If you read the manual that came with 3D Studio I believe you'll find examples
of data in and data out scripts.
I hope this doesn't sound daunting – its really lots easier than you think to
create the link between EDSMAC and 3D Studio.
Cool?
