Hi, I have recently purchased a copy of vue 4 d'esprit. I have a multitude of models created in 3ds max 6. I have the original scenes as these are models that Ihave made. The models are vehicles, all use raytraces (withing Multi/Sub materials) for paint, chrome and glass. I tried using the edit mesh modifier to join all the objects together to create one object, and then, export as .3ds to bring my model into VUE. When it went in, the model was basically a truck shaped black blob, just wondering if VUE 4 d'Esprit has a problem with raytraced textures or if I am just doing something incorrectly? Thank you, bcbii
