Max2DTS Export Checklist

Basic Export:

• The "base" dummy exists
• The "start" dummy exists and is a child of the base dummy
• I have at least one detail marker dummy, its name is trailed by a number e.g. "detail 32"
• All my detail dummies are linked to the "base" dummy
• I have a version of my mesh for each detail number, its name is trailed by that number. e.g. "mesh32"
• My mesh is linked to the start node (unless it is a skinned mesh)
• I have a bounding box, it totally encloses my shape through all its animations
• My bounding box is named "bounds"
• My bounding box is not linked to anything.
• I don't have any numbers trailing object names aside from detail numbers

Skin

• If my mesh uses the skin modifier, the mesh is not linked to anything in the scene
• If my mesh uses the skin modifier, the skeleton controlling it is linked to the "start" dummy

This checklist does not cover setup of animation, multi-res, or the config file, it is simply to get a very basic shape into the game and get the starting artists up on their feet. For more comprehensive instruction, see the Max2DTS section of the Official Torque Documentation
