Help with 3D Models!

Once you find a way, mapping is easy.    I use Unwrap UVW Flat Mapping in 3DS Max on an still and animated object and it works really well in GLB WIN32  (attached are samples object files) ...



... but crashes when compiling in Xcode.    I have tried max/3ds->.obj export with texture co-ordinates but GLB does not map it like the .3ds->.ddd conversion. Although .obj->.ddd does not crash on XCode/iPhone but co-ordinates are missing, so I wonder for if or how this can be acheived at least.


XCode debugger error report when executing X_DRAWOBJ on an converted .3ds->ddd object with Unwrap mapping co-ordinates:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

Unfortunately I can't afford 3DS Max so I have to figure out ways to do it using cheap/free alternatives.
Does 3DS Max allow you to export in either DirectX .x or Quakes .md2 format? Maybe you'll have better luck with their -> .ddd conversions?

I did try to Max->DirectX .x->.ddd but the converter crashed. There are trail versions available and I have been using 3DS since the DOS version but I am interested in 3d object mapping. I just did some tutorials from youtube which I recommend as there are many types of mapping (from texture to object, object painting, poser, etc.

I suppose we could create a .ddd texture mapper!!!

Yes!
In next update of GLBasic 3d object analzyer.
