Importing Kml/z files in 3ds Max?

[spookycat]

Hi All

Does anyone know if there is any plugin out there that will import kml/z files into 3ds max or at least convert them to a format Max can import?

3D models in kmz are actually stored in "Collada" format. If you unzip a kmz file, you'll find the collada file (and any textures it needs) inside. Max/Maya have a Collada importer/exporter, available from a 3rd party AFAIK.

Thanks for that bit of info, didnt realise that, but I was actually after a way of getting the poly and line info from the kml file, no matter Ive written my own now. Thanks.
