Importing 3ds Model to SketchUp

Here is an excellent tutorial by mI9z migs. Link from here.

I found it a bit tricky to move from max, to cinema 4d to sketchup, nevertheless it worked with him.

Export-Import Errors
I. This is the most common pop-up error we see during export from max to 3ds.


II. This is the usual import result in sketchup.


The Workflow:
A. export the max model to .obj instead of 3ds.
u can specify here what to group in the model upon export, kung by material, etc.


B. Import the .obj file to Cinema4D:
* As much as possible, delete all vrayt materials in the scene.


C. Export the file in C4D to 3ds, then import to sketchup.
Here's the result:


*This is just my personal experiences.
Hope this help.
