Importing .3ds model with all its textures

SketchUp Pro
1

Hey, can anyone help? I’m trying to import a .3ds model, saved out from Cinema 4d, the model imports fine but not the textures or colour.
Can anyone help?

Any particular reason why you chose 3ds instead of DAE, USDZ or OBJ?
Have you tried viewing the model in another software to make sure it was exported correctly?

What format does 3DS export the materials as? I believe it’s a .mat - which SketchUp can’t read.

Skimp is a good 3D mesh model importer, I’d give that a try.
