Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
This is how you do it (surprised noone have told you yet...):
3ds2unr doesn't use the same frame-definition as #d studio for instance, with an animation, but it thinks that every model in the scene is an animation frame.
That is, every object, not every shape, since different, nonconnected shapes can be a single object.
What to do in 3D studio:
Open the animated file
Locate the button "snapshot" and click it, it looks like a worm of spheres...
in the box that comes up, you click "range"m, fill in on which frame the animation starts (0) and where it ends (x) and how many copies you want (x+1) and the you can select copy or mesh, I think anything works fine...
Press the OK button and you'll se that it have created a lot of new objects, one for each frame in the animation.
This is what 3ds2unr sees as an animation...
Now save it (preferably as a new file) and let 3ds2unr import it.
If there's no other error you will get the message "Imported x frames..."

yo
i appreciate the reply, but i already figured it out.
however, now i get this message when trying to do the ucc make:
History: UEditorEngine::meshLODProcess <- UEditorEngine::meshImport <- UEditorEn
gine::SafeExec <- (MESH IMPORT MESH=berettahandsb ANIVFILE=MODELS\berettahandsb_
a.3d DATAFILE=MODELS\berettahandsb_d.3d X=0 Y=0 Z=0) <- FScriptCompiler:
rocess
CompilerDirective <- Directive <- FScriptCompiler::CompileDeclaration <- FScript
Compiler::CompileStatement <- FirstPass <- TryCompile <- FScriptCompiler::Compil
eScript <- (Class MyMod.berettahandsb, Pass 0, Line 6) <- MakeScript <- MakeScri
pt <- MakeScript <- DoScripts <- UEditorEngine::MakeScripts <- UMakeCommandlet::
Main
whats up with that?

What do the code look like?
You haven't forgotten to put in #exec before the import line, have you?
Other than a code problem, it looks like a 3D-model problem...
How's your model?
When you edit it, does it have a texture, a uvw map, is it within the 256 unit boundary?
How's life in general?

well im just using the .uc file created by 3ds2unr
here it is anyway:
//=============================================================================
// berettahandsb.

class berettahandsb expands Actor;
#exec MESH IMPORT MESH=berettahandsb ANIVFILE=MODELS\berettahandsb_a.3d DATAFILE=MODELS\berettahandsb_d.3d X=0 Y=0 Z=0

#exec MESH SEQUENCE MESH=berettahandsb SEQ=bah STARTFRAME=0 NUMFRAMES=10
#exec TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=Jberettahandsb1 FILE=MODELS\berettahandsb1.PCX GROUP=Skins FLAGS=2 // Material #1
#exec TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=Jberettahandsb2 FILE=MODELS\berettahandsb2.PCX GROUP=Skins PALETTE=Jberettahandsb1 // TWOSIDED
#exec MESHMAP NEW MESHMAP=berettahandsb MESH=berettahandsb
#exec MESHMAP SCALE MESHMAP=berettahandsb X=0.1 Y=0.1 Z=0.2
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=berettahandsb NUM=1 TEXTURE=Jberettahandsb1
#exec MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=berettahandsb NUM=2 TEXTURE=Jberettahandsb2
defaultproperties
{
DrawType=DT_Mesh
Mesh=berettahandsb
}
its prolly a 3d model problem, how can i diagnose it though?
its within the boundries, it just has normal material textures, i never added a uvw map

aha!
If you don't have an uvw map, then what good is the meshmap commands?
How do you skin your model anyway?
(Maybe I'm wrong, but that could be the problem...)

How do I imort animations using U3D?
I got it to import the model and skin but it won't animate....
