I was wondering if there are any utilities out there that let you convert Vistapro landscapes to Meshes for 3dstudio use? [A [BI was also interested in finding out if there is a 3dstudio ver3.0 utility for converting bitmaps to 3d landscapes, although I guess if you have the first utility I'm looking for I wouldnt need this as vistapro 3.0 does that anyway Yours lookingfully Ron Millar Chaos Studios a Division of Davidson and Associates.

Ron: VistaPro 3.1 will output VistaPro DEM's as DXF files. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for (John understands the terminology better than I do). It's available as both a floppy upgrade to 3.0 or as a CD-ROM (with MakePath, VistaMorph and 3500 scapes) upgrade from floppy 3.0. Clint <VRLI>

Ron, Both VistaPro and GIFDXF come on the CD ROM that ships with the book "Inside 3D Studio" by some of the folks here on the forum, published by New Riders. These will do what you want. John
