Blender Issues.
by Rony 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hello All, I have installed Blender 2.4 for Windows along with Python 2.5.1 for a client. Blender imports the .3ds file format from 3D Studio. However, in 3D Studio, it has to be exported from .max format to .3ds first. Now what happened was that after exporting from max to 3ds into Blender, a chair has turned into a drawing board used by draughtsmen with an extra pole sticking perpendicular out of the board. Has anyone on this list had such teething problems in Blender? What could be the work around for this? I will check it out on the net too. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Rony.

Good software not only means good from inside but an easy to use and intuitive interface outside. For new users it is necessary to train them even on doze software but when pro tools are created as libre replacements to commercial closed software, then they could follow those interfaces so as to eliminate any extra training required for the pro users. > > That means it becomes slightly less crappy, usually by increasing RAM > (memory leaks), higher speed cpu (limiting cpu load), adding AV (poor > security and additional load on cpu).
