import 3dsmax,maya to matlab

Question

I think it is difficult to create a 3d model of a botanical tree in matlab so that I want to create the tree using software such as 3dsmax, maya, etc and then import it to matlab. My ultimate purpose is to access to the tree's pose data.

My question is that is this possible to import 3dsmax, maya, etc data to Matlab environment?

Answer 1

You can export your 3dMax/Maya models to Wavefront.obj files objects(ex: convert .3ds file to .obj file)
using Meshlab.
Then you could use wavefront-obj-toolbox to import that WaveFront objects in to Matlab.
