The tree model now imports correctly.
The chair model also imports correctly.
The old house model cannot be imported correctly, despite using the trick you described:
- use original 3ds file, convert images to jpg, delete original tif, then rename jpg to tif.
- I also tried to change the 3ds file: using a text editor I changed all references of tif to jpg, then I changed images to jpg. No success.
This tractor also imports correctly.
This tarantula is not recognizes as a valid 3ds file.
This excavator does not import correctly. There are still some shifted parts. Colours are missing, but materials are defined.
Conclusion: It's getting better, but not yet perfect
Thank you for your time and effort.
