Importing objects from 3ds max?

I'm trying to import a 100k poly object from 3ds max to unity. I tried .fbx and .obj formats. Unity divides object to 3-4 meshes after importing because of the high poly number. Is there any way to import it as a single mesh?

 

65k is the limit, so it will be automatically split.

You could try optimizing it in 3dsmax to keep it in 1 piece..

 

If I decrease the poly under 65k, it significantly reduces the quality of the object. Isn't there any way to change the limit or merge the meshes again after importing?

 

I dont think so..

Is there some problem using the splitted object instead?

 

No i tried to split the object in 3ds max, but I'm using object2terrain and when I apply it, splitted terrains don't fit.

 

Could try render it as a heightmap in max instead..

Maybe this old script could work also, but it might need some modifications..

wow. It worked perfectly well! I spent couple of hours and tried everthing and that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!!

 

And I can update the terrain anytime I want. That is just great

 

Wow!
So if I made an Enviroment object or character, for a Fighting game, I would have to use anything close to
65000 tris?
Thanks for that reminder.

How could I forget that.

I had an enviroment object in mind, that would have been more than 100,000 tris.
I haven't made it yet though.
It's still a concept.

Guess I'll have to use some old school, poly reduction/baking tricks to get it to look Great!

 

In case anyone is looking for a tut like this, on Enviroment Terrains and stuff.
Check this vid tut out.

It might come in handy, for making a landscape or terrain, within that 65000 tris limit.
