Max2sts for 3dsmax 6

#1 I dont think that there is a 3dmax6 exporter. Is there a work around for this issue?

#2 There is an unofficial 3dmax6 exporter available. We're waiting on Discreet to send us a copy of Max 6 so we can port the exporter. :)

#3 Ben you guys do know that in the meantime you could download the 30-day demo that is completely full featured? This would allow you to work without having to wait on someone else.

#4 Probably doesn't include the needed SDK though, Logan.

#5 The demo doesn't include the SDK, which is what we really need.

Interim fix for max 6 from Samme Ng is avaialble on the DTS Exporter Matrix. Please note you MUST use the UnMessDTS utility with shapes produced using this exporter, just like the Max 3 exporter.

#6 The MAX SDK can be downloaded by anybody at SPARKS. A registration id required but its simple as that.

#7 Are you sure? I created an account, and I can find access to the SDK documentation and a lot of tools, add-ons, and updates, but no actual SDK downloads. Perhaps they are not available to those with public registration IDs?

I will let Jay know about the Sparks program, though he is probably already aware of it.

#8 OOps I was wrong. They took that down. They also took it down outa the support section.

But they do have the Export game interface stuff availible. Not sure if your interested in that. That is availible to the public and is a special interface for exporting only. Not sure how it would work though for the current code.

#9 I'm not sure either, I'll see if any of the coders here want to have a look at it and see if it'd work with SDK+ or something.

#10 I will be having the pleasure of trying to export from Max 6 to the game engine tonight. Has anyone been successful in this effort and what ave you tried?

#11 Yep - a lot of ppl have been successful using Sammy Ng's exporter. Remember Unmess program for some things like LOD, billboards.

But some alos say it doesnt work for them. *shrugs*
