I'm looking for a 3ds max 9 exporter, I was able to find one, but it doesn't work correctly, I searched and couldn't find anything, can anyone post a link because I see a lot of people with a working one.

The GG Artists page contains all the necessary links to downloads for artists tools and plugins such as the Max 9 exporter for both 32 and 64 bit. I would highly recommend that people use the ones provided there.

Will do. Where is the latest documentation on using the max to DTS exporter?

TDN has it all, but you can also check out the original docs too.

It seems there are holes in the 3DS DTS exporter documentation on TDN. I did find some good videos on youtube for Torque exporting. Some more up to date examples for characters would be good. Maybe something that uses the Kork model detailing all the steps to setup the scene and heirarchy for export. It should hit on exporting the DTS file and DSQ files. It should include the files needed to preform the steps as well.

I have to point out something about that file...

"Close Max and then Run the self installing exe."

THERE IS NO .EXE INSTALLER!!!!

How the heck do I install it?

Hi !

I would first like to answer Pectabyte's question.. maybe he/she has already solved this simple problem..
anyways, you should place the "max2dtsExporterPro.dle" file to Max's plugin folder. and then reopen the Max...It is seen in the export menu


I have my own question also..
What kind of models can be converted to dts format? Or is there any restrictions for this? I am able to export a simple sphere model to dts from max, but cannot export a 7mb quite complex mosque model... It actually says 3 of .cfg files ar missing... and in the end says: no bounds found.. these are written of course in the dump.html file that Max provides after crushing :s

Any useful comments, other than exact solution are also appreciated :)

Copied max2dtsExporterPro.dle to plugins folder and I'm getting a failure to initialize error message on startup with 3DS Max 2008. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Greg, remove that exporter.
Get the package here:docs.garagegames.com/artist/official/exporter_files/max_exporters/Max2DTS_All_Ve...

Use the exporter you get from the link above. If you really want the exporter pro, I suggest you do some more research on how to install it...iirc, you need to use an installer and then overwrite the old exporter file with the newer. *BUT* I am not aware of where you get any of those files, let alone the newer of the many I have seen in these forums.

Either way, good luck.
And don't forget to read the documents for the max artist.

Hi everyone,
I have reading all through many many of these forums and im trying to find a new up to date and working!! 3ds max 9 to dts converter. The one that a link in this forum has is the closest i have found but it says its only for versions 6,7,8 and not nine once you get it open. If it does work for a 9 a more detailed instructions on how to install this file would be nice. I have also looked at the DoIt converter but im not sure if going with that is the best option or not. Any help on find a dts converter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
