3ds to STL conversion needed - Scifi-Meshes.com

Hi. I need to convert some models from 3ds to STL. They are not complicate models. Can anyone do this? and, How much would it cost? Thanks.

its probably going to be a bit more work than just hitting the export button. assuming he needs the .stl format for prototype purposes (and i don't know what else you'd want .stl for) then its likely that the 3ds models will need a fair amount of work to make them into closed meshes... most models are collections of open meshes and totally unsuitable for use in a prototyper regardless of format.

Reyde, i'll send you a pm. i'll need to see the models to see what state they're in.
