Hello! I have a question about 3D-Studio R3 and Renderman. Is there any way I can greate with 3DS or any plug-in programms files from 3DS for rendering with renderman? I heared that 3DS R1 a plug-in tool had, that would translate 3DS renderfiles to renderman files. So, if anyone of you can help me, where I can get a tool for 3DS to renderman, I would appreciate it. Please do not hesitate to give me a response. I would need the tool very soon. Thanks Philip

<<I heared that 3DS R1 a plug-in tool had, that would translate 3DS renderfiles to renderman files>> Well, no. It was planned, but never happened. What you need is a 3DS to RIB converter. I believe Syndesis was working on one, but I don't know the status. They frequent the forum and will hopefully also pitch in and answer this. -Brian
