More K3d dramas. C4D related

I've noticed that I can't get certain models out of C4D for K3D to see. I had some trouble with this a little while back and Dust helped me out with this vid: http://vimeo.com/28583684 Although if I do the exact same procedure with a text spline in an extrude nurbs object K3d won't recognise it. Neither will V002. I can look at it in preview but it's a bit mangled. Can somebody with C4D please try it out and tell me i'm not insane? Text spline-extrude nurbs-make editable-connect+delete and export. Thanks.

K3D or V002 can't render NURBS. Convert your model to polygon(triangles) before exporting. For K3D, use FBX models if possible.

Thanks Franz but "make it editable" just means to convert to polys, it's just what C4D calls it. I'm not leaving it as nurbs. I've been using collada but i'll give fbx a shot, thanks.

Figured it out. Even though the face caps show as poly objects once they're made editable, you need to select them and apply a triangulate function.

Good to know.
