(OT) Max to Vector Image?

[Jean Dukate]

http://www.infografica.com    This company has a plugin for Max that I

ran into about a month ago. Look for the plugin called Cartoon Reves

under the products category of their website. This may or may not work

for what you are looking for in converting 3D to vector based.

Additionally I really don't know the export options you have after the

conversion has been made.

Did someone mention Rhino? :) Yes Rhino supports those file formats on

export. I exported a rhino model as an AI file and brought it into to

Flash 3.0 with no problems. It comes in as a serious of grouped

lines(which can easily be ungrouped). I guess that that is what you are

trying to do just import the lines and curves? I don't think it is

possible to create a "shader" version of the model and export as an AI

file. I believe you will need some type of converter program or plugin

like the one mentioned above.


To all those PC graphic people in the group if you haven't downloaded

Rhino 3D do so! It is still in beta(but release is coming up) so it is

fully functional FREE(right now) to use program. Find it at

www.rhino3d.com. It really makes modeling easy if you have ever

struggled through any of the other 3D modeling programs and it has a way

of exporting into about any of you favorite renderers. It also accepts

AI files to be imported. So you can build a quick shape cuve inside say

in like Freehand or Adobe, export it as an AI file and easily import

into Rhino. The path tools are also so sweet and easy to use you will be

wishing your favorite Drawing app carried some of the path drawing

features Rhino has.
