Quote - You can get the De Espona set, it is not bad for the price, but like people have said above, some models don't export well, and with many of them there are problems with inverted polygons, texture settings, scale, etc.It really depends on how much work you want to do, and how many of the models you will be using.

For example, the set is 700 dollars. If you are going to use 70 or more of the models, going through the whole process of exporting and scaling and applying textures, etc, then it is worth your while. But if you are only going to use 20 or 30, then it is cheaper and easier to buy the models that someone else has already done the work on of fixing, scaling, texturing, rigging, etc.

It is basically a question of how many models you will be using from the set, and how much time you have, and how much work you want to do. I have been working on this set on and off for a year or so, and I have only done about 20 models.

Actually my decision is not depending on the count (I'd use as many I'd have fun with lol)
but rather how easy it is to convert it from max to 3ds.
Friend of mine has max on his pc and if it is just a matter of let's say 10 mins - ok -
But who's talking about about days???
Why is it so problematic, because they're old?

I'm not really plannin to do any changes to the models just keep the polies, and textures can be adjusted in Vue. I hope the .max come in multiple bodies so the texturing won't be much of a problem.

That's what I'd do anyways. But spending hell of a time just to get 1 model in Vue .- nah that'd not be my thing to be honest.
