Sure as3 is good, but if you need runtime loading, 3ds, obj, md2 or awd are the better options. This week for instance, Pawel has discovered the awd format. The nice thing of it is that its also cross engine version, type and editable in Prefab and even embeddable. For now, Away offers only support for bones using collada, personnaly I would use this format only if such functionality would be required.

Native collada exporters of 2009 and 2010 are peace of shit . So use Max 9 and it will be fine
An xml format like this, is for runtime is a bad choice anyway...

I will tell you what man . I am as heavy 3ds Max user for AWAY models checked all the versions from 9 onwards and found that only 9 (not 2009) exports collada right way. after you install ColladaMax Plugin .Native collada exporters of 2009 and 2010 are peace of shit . So use Max 9 and it will be fine

I'm importing high-resolution scanned organic models, exported from 3ds Max. I've successfully imported .3ds files up to 22000 faces, but much larger than that and nothing appears (even though the Flash console shows no errors). Unfortunately, I don't own 3ds Max, so it takes time to ask for and then test a new model.

What are Away3D's limits in terms of model complexity, both on import and display? Is .3ds the format I should be using, or should I use Collada (compressed), .ASE (ditto) or .OBJ?


Thanks,
Dan
