Topic: CGI Help
I figure this is the right place for this thread.
Um, so I want to green screen some CGI bricks onto a video. But It's a .3ds file so I can't import it into wax. Is there anyway to turn the .3ds file into a .avi file?

I have been wondering the same thing
cause i have always wanted to make a film using cgi like plant or something i just can't figure out how to do it from blender
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as turning a .3ds file into an .avi -- that's sort of like like asking if you can automatically convert a word document of your movie's screenplay into a movie based on it. You'll need to import the model into a 3D animation / rendering program, such as Blender or Anim8or, and from there you would creating a lighting setup for it, do any camera and animation work, and render it for a video.
LeoCad can export .3ds and .obj formats, both are pretty commonly used in 3D applications. Anim8or and Blender should both be able to read one of these formats - Anim8or is the easier one to learn, but Blender is much more powerful. I personally use DAZ's software Carrara, which has a pretty good blend of power and ease of use, but it's not free.
I got all that but how would you put it into the movie like position it like in your movies or like in plant by VN and Leo
