WHen I try to export my half beard obj. as a 3ds the progress slider comes up and stops at about 30% then after a couple seconds jumps to 50% and then closes. It creates the file but when I try to open it in 3dmax r3 I get a invalid file format message. This only happens with the half beard. GRRRRRR this is the one thin stoping me from completeing the beard! BTW- the half beard is about 6.7 megs if that has anything to do with it.
