I am thinking of buying a model from Turbosquid. What is the best format to use with Carrara and even Hexagon.

I am NOT worried about any RIGGING that it may have BUT I do want the Texture maps to work/display correctly IF they come with any.

Please advise

    I'd say .obj but that is jut the format I am used to working in. .obj and .3ds; not .3ds max, both work nicely in carrara. Don't worry if the textures don't load, they can easily be reapplied. But if it has rigging go for collada; .dae, it may come through, or should, with the rigging intact.

    Hi Rich :)

    OBJ if it's available,. since it's quads,. and it's probably the format which will open in just about anything,. from Photoshop to 3DMax,.

    3DS converts any model to TRI's,.

    both will import into carrara, but one of them may be easier to deal with. :)
