They are also here locally on GarageGames, although they can sometimes be hard to find in the site layout.

There is also a 3dsmax 64bit exporter, but garagegames doesn't host it. I found it on Ray Noolness Gebhardt's blog.

edit: my bad i guess i haven't checked the garagegames artist page in a while (in a few months). garagegames does host a 64bit exporter for 3dsmax.

Amusingly enough the 64 bit exporter on the artists page appears to be the one I compiled. I am guessing someone tried out the 64 bit version and it worked (I am 64 bit impaired). I should probably include an advertisement in the exporter next time. ;) After reading my blog i noticed it said "It requires some changes to the DTS exporter so here are links to updated versions of the exporter for 3D Studio Max." I forget what the changes were, but I know the changes didn't affect the normal operation of the exporter. They were just some modifications that were required in order for NoolPreview to operate correctly.

The only change I made the the source code was to allow for the custom materials I had in NoolPreview. The lines I added are as follows:

tools\max2dtsExporterPro\maxAppMesh.cpp : Line 136

      if( mtl->ClassID() == Class_ID(0x7614325e, 0x365237dc) )
      {
         mtl = (Mtl*)mtl->GetReference(0);
      }

I doubt it will matter to most people, but it's worth noting if you are using the exporter I guess. It will not affect the normal operation of the exporter.

Is there a tutorial on how to use it? When I use the Quick Setup/Quick export I get an "Nothing to Export" error. Anyone care to help?

Nevermind... I just had to create the ceres.cfg... Stupid programmer me... ;)

Cheers for locating and bundling them together because it would be a pain in the ass finding them,

Nice One;)

Were they removed? I can't find a link to them

Apparatus (Jun 20, 2008 at 02:33 GMT)

hey guys; most links are dead one year after :)

Nmuta Jones (Jun 29, 2008 at 16:36 GMT)

I don't understand why links to important files like max2dts exporters would have to expire in one year. This link:

http://www.garagegames2.com/web/exporters/max2dtsExporter_max9.zip

has been 'expired' for quite a while now. I think this is why people have felt the need to post the exporters on their own personal web sites.
