3ds Max 5 or 6 support?

by Dreamer · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/08/2004 (2:23 pm) · 9 replies

Was wondering if there are any plans to add 3DS Max 5 or 6 exporters to the current library.
I'm just not talented enough to code one myself.

There are already max exporters available for those platforms...

Alex Swanson has max6 exporter on an ftp.

He should give you it if you ask nicely :p

It didn't work for me and for many others, but I've also heard people who've had it work (Logan Foster?).

There have been some problems with the Max 6 exporter.

Max 5 will work fine with the Max 4 exporter, as long as you

A) do LOD by hand and do not use multires, or
B) replace the max5 multires plugin with the max4 version

Unfortunately we only have Max 6.
Any ideas on how we can do this?

Doh! Never mind, just found out you can do this by...
Loading file in 3dsmax, export to LWO
Load LWO into MilkShape, export to DTS

That is a handy trick. Hopefully a better solution will be available soon, though.
