Max exporter

by Faraz Ahmed · in Torque Game Engine · 01/04/2006 (4:34 am) · 6 replies

Hullo, i was poking around for an exporter from 3ds max 7 to dts etc. The only link to an existing exporter is throwing a page not found error. http://www.alexswanson.com/torque/downloads/max6_7tools.zip

Is it just my horrible arabian ISP or has the link moved?

Thanks
Faraz

Hi there,

Ok if you go to www.theatomizer.com we compiled a max2dts exporter for max 6 & 7. Seems to work for both. I hope that helps you and it works good for you. We have not had one complaint so far, so we figure it's working ok, if there is any problem lets us know at the atomizer.

Hi Shon,

I also use 3DS Max 7, and was having trouble with LOD when using the previous exporter that existed on here (max6_7tools). I was wondering if the exporter you have compiled has any issues with exporting models with level of detail.

Thanks!

Sorry when we did that we didn't address LOD but we are now looking into recompiling using the DTS Plus SDK included with the TGE SDK. So hang in there I have a bunch of other stuff but will investigate soon.
Thanks for the interest.

Someone on IRC asked about this and as such I uploaded a copy of the Max 6/7/8 compatible DTS exporter plugin onto my personal site for them to download, as such if anyone else needs it you can download it too. Note: This is just the DLE, not the other tools and goodies that one gets with the official download from GG.
