DTS Exporter: A bug in itself?

by Brian Wells · in Torque Game Engine · 09/09/2001 (7:34 am) · 4 replies

The DTS exporter takes a VERY long time to do it's thing (like almost 15 minutes for 12 animations on my p4 2ghz system) and I am wondering if it is slow for anyone else. I don't have to wait this long for ANY other plugin.

Thanks

I have a Tbird @ 1.1 ghtz and 512 mb ram and exporting a weapon or other static object takes 5 - 10 secs and a player model takes around 20 - 40 secs.

I have not tried to export animations yet.

That sounds right without animations. Weapons are VERY fast, especally without animations. Player models with animations take a very long time though.

The exporter for max 5 that came out first is very slow.

You are either exporting as a morph mesh or you are using a debug build of the exporter. My models take 3-10 seconds and most animations take under 2 seconds to export.
