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? N.
