Does Maya2Dts supports the NoMipmap flag?

Hi,

I tried using it in different places, and can't get it to work. The mipmap is screwing some of your alpha-tested models, and we need to turn it off only on these DTS shapes. I read in the DTS Exporter Matrix that the Maya2Dts does support it, but I can't find information on how to use it anywhere.

I also would really like an answer to this. I found the documentation that said to put this flag on the bounds for the 3DSMAX exporter: MIPMAP::NO_MIPMAP=true

I added an attribute to the bounds in Maya name MIPMAP_NO_MIPMAP and set it to "on" and it did nothing. I thought that would have been the 3ds max equivalent but it doesn't appear to work. Also I searched for the word "mipmap" and found nothing.

Does the Maya exporter actually have mipmap on off support?

Already solved that one, just add this to the mayaAppMesh.cpp, then you just add attribute bool in maya called noMipMap to the object you want it turned off on

edit: I had posted code here...(f orgot this is not the tdn forum :P ) but instead Ill just link you to a compiled version for Maya 8.5 soon,

it will have proper UVwrap working as well as recognize the flags for noMipMap and mipMapZeroBorder
