ArchiCAD Image Library to 3ds Max Material Editor

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to get the same maps for the materials used in US ArchiCAD 10 and 11 to retain its path information and import into 3dsMax with the map in the material editor per object? I am really tired of having to do this once again when my model is imported into 3dsMax. Logically it should be able to happen, but so far no success. Is it possible to get ArchiCAD Libraries and 3dsMax to look at the same image folder and work appropriately?

Is there a script, a patch, a plug in? From ArchiCAD to Max?

Thanks

There is ...

I do think that this article is available in English on the Talk and maybe in the Wiki. Here it is in Croatian:

Djorgje, I do appreciate your help and this link. I performed the download and installation and there are some benefits over the regular ArchiCAD import into Max. When I use the ArchiCAD importer, it does show the ArchiCAD material names, but not their associated image maps. I still have to search for the maps to get the materials correct in Max, but the import tool now allows me to perform this operation up front. But is there a way to export from ArchiCAD with the image maps already set up in the object's material when it is brought into 3dsMax? => I hope that the Croatian translation is correct. Thanks again.

Djorgje: JA obaviti poštovati vaša pomoć i ovaj povezati. JA predstavljen preuzimanje datoteka i uvođenje u službu i ima neki prednost na pravilan ArchiCAD uvoz u Max. Našto Koristim ArchiCAD importer , on ne pokazivanje ArchiCAD materijalan imenjak , ali ne njihov kolega predodžba mape. JA pa ipak morati traženje za jedan dan mape da biste dobili materijalan ispraviti in Max , ali uvoz alat zatim dopustiti mene to obaviti ovaj funkcioniranje unaprijed. Ali Ima li... u blizini put to izvoziti ArchiCAD sa predodžba mape već postaviti in predmet materijalan našto posrijedi je denešen u 3dsMax?
