Exporting 3ds file to another render software

[Anonymous]

Hey... i've been exporting archicad 3d to C4d, as 3ds, nice exporting, and everything, but one day i went to a friend office, and noticed that he exported the same way as 3ds, but the only difference (besides he works on Windos and I use Macosx) that when he saves the 3ds file he gets a folder with the textures in the same folder he exported the 3ds file, but when i export the 3ds file i get the 3d file but the textures goes to some where i have to search down for it, and the texture name has a prefix of the folder i.e. if it goes to the desktop the texture name is "desktopbrick.bmp"..... why happens this is there is some setting i'm not setting or an add-on,...

it really slows me down, please help on this , if you guys know something about it...

thanks...

Sounds like it might have something to do with the fact that he's on Windows and you're on Mac.
