viewing a 3d image

[madaryl]

Hello,

I'm planning to animate our logo... I’ll be starting to create its 3d model using 3d studio max 6. My question is.... I’ve read from 3d studio's tutorial that I can save the file to something like ".wav"(I’m not sure if recall the correct extension name). I tried it, but it did not work. I don't know what the problem was. What should I do? Or I need to add some add on to be able to do that? :?

-I would like my logo to turn to something I can view them using windows media player so that I can incorporate it in Flash MX. (Am I going far from what this site is concern with? :lol: )

Thanks in advance!

First you need to set up animation to your max file. Usally you have 100 frames to play with. You can set to more if you like. You have to set up cameras and animate your model to spin, twirl, move, etc...
Then you render it to a file. From the rendering tab you may choose the outcome. avi, wav, etc...

No problem. I'll post it here, when i finish it... but I'm not sure of when I can finish that logo. Since I'm only working on it on my free time.
