Collada support allows export and import to many 3D Applications including Blender (open source, free download at blender.org) and 3DS Max, there is also SKP export and import for the powerful 3D Design application Google ) SketchUp (at present available as a free download).

3DSimEd also allows you to work with .3DS files giving a way for you to work with many 3D modelling applications including 3DSMax.

 3DSimED details

TrkMaker allows you to create and edit tracks for various simulator formats using a common database. The database describes the segments and surfaces that define the track. This data can then be exported to GTR2, GTL, rFactor, GTR, Papyrus N2003, F1CC, or .3DS format.  The initial database can be created from a GPL .TRK or N2003 .PTF giving you a way, for example, to start with a GPL track and build N2003 and other format tracks in a matter of hours.

TrkMaker Details

Please note that these utilities are not converters but are designed to help track authors to create their tracks in the format they choose. If you are working on an existing track, you should ensure you have the permission of the author. In particular note that 3DSimED and TrkMaker will not allow you to load Nascar .PTFs or GPL .TRKs supplied in the original products.

These programs are to be used only for legal and non-infringing uses
