I am having trouble exporting trees as 3ds from Carrara 3.03. The export finishes, but there seem to a whole bunch of useless black jpgs and the import process back into C. 2.1, 3.03 or Vue 4.51 Professional is bad. No leaves seem to come back at all. I did get the palm tree to work, but it has a much smaller polygon count, with fewer elements. I am using Win XP 512 megs Ram and a PIII 1 GHz JWB
