AndyM Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I think you are out of luck. Image based textures created in VW will not export to other apps. Quote Link to comment
collider Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 I've poked around this bb a little bit and some posts seem to suggest a way to get vectorworks files into C4D. Does that carry the texture data with it? I would imagine there's a way to go from vw to C4D to maya if that's the case... Is this a possiblity, or am I really out of luck here? Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment
AndyM Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 The C4D plugin will allow you to export (and later update) geometry, object color, light data and a few other things - but not textures. As far as I know textures will not leave VectorWorks. Quote Link to comment
collider Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 Ouch... thank you very much for your help on this. I wish it weren't true... Jeff Quote Link to comment
collider Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hi all, I need to import a bunch of trade show booths done in Vectorworks for animation in Maya.... can anyone help me with the settings I'd need on export? I can get the model data over fine with iges, but I need the texture data as well. There are quite a few signs with images that I don't want to have to re-create... I don't care as much about the procedural textures, but I'd love to get the images over correctly placed... I have polytrans as well, if that helps with this... I just don't know what switches to flip in Vectorworks to make this happen. Is what I'm asking even possible? Thanks, Jeff Quote Link to comment
