The project I'm currently working on requires raytraced images. What I've been doing is using 3D Studio to create objects and manipulate them into a scene. I then port an ASCII save file to the format required by my raytracer. Unfortunately, textures and image/bump maps are not carried over. I have to re-define them manually for the raytracer. While it isn't a difficult job to create a texture for the raytracer, it is very difficult to map an image onto the objects in the scene acurately. This is because I have no information regarding the absolute transformations of an object with respect to the origin. My raytracer initially places imagemaps at the origin and then requires a transformation of the imagemap to its final location. Well, after that long-winded explanation, here is my question: Is there a way to get 3D Studio to tell me what absolute transformations have been applied to an object on an object by object basis? Thanks, Danny…
