I'm having a bit of a challenge. I have a file geodatabase containing 3D building with textures. I'm trying to export the building(s) along with it's textures and importing them into a handful of programs. I've preformed the following export functions:
1. Export to VRML
2. Layer to KML
3. Multipatch to Collada

I've imported the above formats in the following 3D programs:
1. 3D Studio MAX 2011 - Collada and VRML import fine but without texture
2. Google Sketchup - Multipatch is broken into different collada files and most of them import with texture and then it crashes.
3. Blender (free 3D software) - Collada and VRML import fine but without texture

One item I have read about ArcScene exporting to VRML is that it creates images with a suffix of 001, 002, 003, etc., but I'm not seeing that in the folder I'm exporting to.

Any help on this would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve.
