I have a CD ROM with about 200 tif texture maps on it that I got with the purchase of the "Inside 3D studio" book, however, I am using version 2 of 3D studio, which can't seem to interpret these tif files. My question is, first, is there any way I can use these texture maps in version 2, and secondly, if not then can I convert these tif files to perhaps another graphic file format and use them. Thirdly, if I can use them in another format which one and where can I find a converter for tif files

Steve, Please don't take offense at this but, why are you not considering upgrading to release 3 or 4? Release 2 was a wonderful upgrade from 1 but 3 was a quantum leap from 2 and 4 will be that much more exciting. I don't understand why your trying to go "backwards"??? Murph'

I don't know for sure if it will work, but you might want to try pulling the files into any other graphics package that reads tifs (Photoshop,Highjack, etc.).If they can read the files you should also be able to save them out to tga and read them into 3DS. Also, it might help to upgrading to R4 if you think it can fit into your plans. Good luck with the conversions, -DD
