DTS Exporting troubles.

by Larren Maxson · in Artist Corner · 05/22/2009 (11:39 am) · 3 replies

I'm trying to export .dts from 3ds Max 9. I have the plugin in the right spot. After I collapse the object to a single mesh and apply a bounding box, I use the export utility and it just keeps saying no data found. Could someone please help me with this????
Thanks

Open up a few example files in max and review the setup in the schematic view window.

You have a degree in animation, so I feel that explaining the needed hierarchy is a bit mundaine.
there are some helpful file packs here: torque.abigholeintheweb.com/public_system/artists/exporter_related/max/

..if you want a very easy way out, site-search "doit!".

Sounds like you need properly setup Detail markers....

Did you give your geometry strings any appending 'numbers'?? That may be why your exporter 'thinks' there is nothing to export...you haven't told the exporter about your geometry/meshes and at what pixel height to render them at....

My quickest thoughts.
