His thumbnail in FS looks like a nice collection but I was unable to open any of the MAC .3DS files for use on a PC. Is there some simple trick - like lopping off the resource fork - that can be done in a text editor? If anyone translates them please let us know.

Just d/led the items on my Mac, but Poser crashes when importing any of the .3DS files (running with 350 MB RAM, seems not to be memory problem). Usually Poser imports .3DS (Mac & Win) w/o modification, but sometimes it fails with complex geometry (I guess). Actually the resource fork of a Mac file is a separate .rsr file on WinPC. To get rid of the resource fork on Mac, you can copy the data portion (e.g. text) with text editor and paste it into a new text file. In WinPC you delete the .rsr file. No solution, sorry.

Nutz! Thanks for the info though. 3D Win didn't like them either.

I got a pm from Unholy1 saying he would convert them to PC and I let him know that there were MAC problems as well.

Hey VK, seems he does not read this forum. He PM'd again asking for details on MAC crashes. Please try emailing him through the Members list or PM'ing him. (I guess he checks FS or another forum but not this one)

No I check all of them I got lost looking through this one. Just to let you know all the 3Ds files can be found at http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/meshes.asp? is it just the WC file that is the prob? Unholy1
