DTS importer???

by Infinitum3D · in Torque Game Engine · 08/29/2008 (3:04 pm) · 11 replies

There are exporters for many popular 3D art programs, but does anyone have a way to convert a dts BACK into an obj or 3DS file?

I made a bird model several months ago, just something to try airborn pathfinding, and now I want to animate it with flapping wings, but I can't find my original MAX file.

Other than starting over and making a new one in StudioMax, is there any way to "decompile" or import back into StudioMax?

Thanks,
Tony

Well, I remember finding a DTS importer for Blender, but I don't remember where it was...

Ultimate Unwrap 3D and Shaper have support for DTS import and export according to their feature lists but I haven't tested the functionality of either.

Is there any updates on this? Is this still the only way, or the best way to get back to .3ds format from DTS?

I have been following the Softimage thread for the exporter as I use it for all my 3d gaming needs.

Note that the OP was looking for an importer. So, DTS->Max, not the other way around. :)

Shaper is the only thing I've found, you'll have to go through several channels to get it back into max though.

As the above poster said, Ultimate Unwrap 3D will
import and export .dts files. You have to download the .dts importer separately and add it to the plugins folder.

Hello, I tried Shaper but I get an error when trying to import my .dts
Is there anyone who know how to contact Shaper's developer ? or better, someone who can help me convert the files ? Thx in advanced.
