exporting .3ds file in 3dmax 8 with textures

[gldr327]

Im trying to export a .3ds file that I intend on opening in vue 5. After wasting 3 hours in vue 5 wondering why the textures kept disappearing. I tried importing the file back into max and bingo no textures there ether. So my question, what am I screwing up when Im trying to export a .3ds from max and not keeping the textures attached.

Hmm as far as I'm aware, the 3ds format doesn't take texture info. You can use obj instead, if the app you want to open the file in supports that...
