exporting to collada file from 3ds max?

#1 Are you using OpenCOLLADA for Max? That should work. Not sure about importing to Softimage but it works on import to Torque 3D. http://opencollada.org/download.html

#2 does it work in torque x 3d builder? Im trying to import to their and put in my c# project and debug it to see if it loads in the scene correctly. Do i need add the model as an asset and load it seperately then with code?
If you have a working exporter for max that directly exports to dts please post one. the only ones i know for direct export dont work.

#3 jeffery, you keep posting that the DTS exporters do not work..Yet there are loads of people who use them everyday. It is you that does not understand that a 32 bit exporter only works in 32 bit max which can be installed in Win7x64.

How about you read the DTS documentation and stop blaming the Max-exporters for you troubles ?

Note: Jeffery has insisted in multiple threads that DTS exporters do not work.

#4 Yes i have read about installing dts exporters and the only docs i read insist on putting it in the plugins directory but max 2011 will not launch it because it is not a "valid win 32 application". I will post screen shot if you dont believe me.

#5 BTW i have 64-bit max installed. I automatically installs the 64-bit for me.

#6 open collada works in 3ds max and is more stable i already found a dark industries product for softimage that works on exporting to dts. I wonder how do i get open collada to show up in softimage? It only supports collada files. If you have a open collada file for softimage image that would be appreciated.

#7 Why don't you simply install the 32 bit version of max ?
XSI doesn't have an opencollada version but it's default collada exporter should suffice.

#8 Or if someone has documentation for collada that would be helpful.

#9 Because it supports 64-bit autodesk products perfectly. And their is no promise that you will compile 64-bits when 32-bit computers and 32-bit programs are no more.

#10 im trying to import into torque x for a test of torque products. Does anyone know if the new torque 3d supports development for the xbox 360? If i does i would use it instead of torque x but it doesnt from what i hear.

#11 anyone know about daetodts?

#12 I want to try to convert my file using this tool but is it included with torque x? Or just torque 3D?

#13 well, you seem to know it all then

so why are you asking these questions?
you are getting the correct answers,
but you obviously know better...

I dont get it

#14 His exporter will be outdated and i want to figure out how to use a direct 64-bits one but he will not recompile. He frustrates me. I will just use the daetodts converter in the tools folder of my torque x install before going nuts.

#15 blender can open up my collada file and export it perfectly.

#16 Thanks Matt open collada exports it perfectly then i can use the dae2dts converter and it converted it to dts and i imported it into my test game flawlessly with little messing around. Thanks, Everyone.

#17 wow. This should be stickied as a classic.

#18 Sorry for the fuss gas you helped a little too. insert foot into mouth*.*.

#19 jeffery, have you ever seen this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9q2jNjOPdk

#20 Yeah i kept searching for dae2dts but i overlooked the documentation little mess up on my part i know how to post i just sometimes get a little tired and over look stuff. Like a child that cant contrate when im mad or frustrated. BTW my model can be resized too in my torque x project got it hinters for editors after that i might close this thread how do i do that or does it close after so long?
