I've been trying to convert some really cool 3ds files over to OBJ so that they can be put into MTM2 but whenever i import the OBJ the model is all twisted and weird and looks nothing like the model i converted. I've tried the 3 main model converting programs and they all do the same thing (3d exploration, crossroads, WCT2POV) Sometimes i can convert models over and sometimes i cant.

I really need help with this problem. I'll show some screenshots if you dont know what i mean. But at the moment i haven't prepared anything

Post some pics. I've had problems with faces being flipped but never twisting.

OK i'll get some pics up later today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the link Winterkill

As for the screenshots here they are. I have a screenshot of what the model looks like in 3d exploration and a pic of the converted model. It only has about as many faces as BIN_MASTAS camaro so its not like theres too many faces.

NOTE: I used a screenshot for 3d exploration for the before shot but the end result for the same model ends up the same with all the other model converting so its not a problem that only happens in 3dxploration.

Here we go. Sorry if the pics take forever to load.

Now you should see what i mean and its not a very convenient thing.

edit: Whoops i forgot to downsample the pics but sorry i dont have time to downsample them. I'm real sorry if you have a slow internet connection. I'll try & get these fixed by tomorrow. Sorry once again

What I think is happening that i have had happen before to me is, when you export from a high detailed 3ds to a low quality obj it takes faces and points and joins them, making it look scrambled.... so maybe try a higher vertex and face count and it will look more normal. Other then that though.. keep trying, im sure you can get it to work!
