Hello...

 

I'm new on the community...

 

My names is Jacopo Baldini I'm an Italian student of Architecture...

 

I'm usign Grasshopper for make the 3dModel of my project exam's...

 

The theme is a sustanaible tower in Paris...

 

I would like to reproduce and effect like Agbar Tower of Bacelona and Gws tower of Berlin...

 

I made all the model and now the problem is how to make the render...

 

I made whit Grasshoppe lots of object with different gradient color and I don't know if I can import correctly this color in 3dStudioMax...

 

I woul like to know if is it possible to import in 3dStudioMax the color set of the object maked in Rhino...if is it I would like to know how!!

 

Anyway I'm also thinking to make a render whit Vray for Rhino...

 

What do u think?

 

Thanks for the attention....

    Thanks to a tip from to] I have had success with baking the mesh and exporting as .fbx format.  I have not tried with 3D Studio, but this format opened in Maya and I was able to see and render the colors.

      Hi Jacopo

      I had success with importing color to Max using the *.WRL (or *.VRML) format, wich saves the vertex color from rhino ,than you have to use the Vertex color map to the material slot you need in the Material editor

      to make it visible in the rendering you can see my result here : http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/radiocolor-1?context=user

       

      can you share link to the ''nurbs converter'' ?

       

      good day
