Blender Imports

by William Shellman · in Artist Corner · 08/03/2007 (10:11 pm) · 5 replies

I have acquired some various formatted files and would like to work with them, but some formats are foreign to me. One in particular is a format named ".rar" . I cannot open them in Blender, so what program will? Any help would be hot!!!

William, .rar is a file compression format. You'd want to extract the contents before importing them in Blender.

I was also wondering how to import "LWO" files and/or 3DS MAX files.

Well, hit 'File', go down to 'Import >', and look for 'Lightwave (.lwo)'. That's what you want for lightwave. I don't think it's possible to import .max files, but you can import .3ds.

Thanks a lot, Daniel! I have imported some LWO files, but the .3ds files won't work. I may be doing something wrong though. I just need to buckle down and read the documentation over again. I appreciate your help.
