Feature Chart Wrong on TDN

by Greg Gardinier · in Artist Corner · 07/12/2007 (4:52 pm) · 3 replies

I just wanted to point out that there is an error on the TDN DTS exporter feature chart. It says that Maya2DTS does not support "Self Illumination" this is not true.

You can set "glow" in the material attribute to 100% and maya2dts will export a self illuminated object. Hopefully someone can correct that.

Additionally the chart also says that Maya2DTS supports MipMap Detail control and after rewview the exporter source code and looking around on the forums I think that this is NOT supported by maya2dts, but the feature chart says that it is. I hope i am wrong and it is supported but if it isn't this also needs to be changed.

thanks

There is "support", just needs a bit of tweeking... Ive added support for noMipMap's and mipMapZeroBorder, just as simple as setting/getting a few extra material flags in the maya2dts source

Also, dont know if anyone noticed this yet, but there is a minor problem with Maya's U V wrap export, was an easy enough fix, but it was not done properly, to fix it you just need to check:



edit: once again I removed the code I posted, ill put a link to the plugin compiled for Maya 8.5 once I get a chance to upload it



also, whoever needs it for other versions of Maya let me know, if enough request it, I can built it backwards for other versions of Maya

So I got around to uploading sooner than I thought, and incase you actually go to my site, just know I have not touched it since I started to work in the 3D industry :P ( maybe longer... )
