Autodesk 3DS Max 6-2025 GLM Importer/Exporter Plugins

These plugins were created on request by Milamber, with a lot of cooperation from him for testing and feature requirements.

They allow you to import .glm models to Autodesk 3DS Max 2010 - 2022, both 32bit and 64bit versions. (32bit support was discontinued from 3DS Max 2014 and up, so there are no 32bit versions of those.)

 

GLM models that are weighted to a skeleton can be imported with a skeleton if you have the matching .GLA file. If you do not have one, you can cancel that step and you will have an unweighted model imported.

 

The plugins have been tested with creating/modifying for Jedi Academy:

- Player models

- Creature models (Non-player usable models, such as rancor and wampa)

- Sabers

- Vehicles

- Weapons

 

Should probably work for Jedi Outcast as well, but this has not been tested.

 

The plugins have been tested and verified with the following 3DS Max versions:

- 3DS Max 2011 32bit

- 3DS Max 2011 64bit

- 3DS Max 2012 64bit

- 3DS Max 2015 64bit

 

Installation:

Pick the required plugin matching your 3DS Max installation, and put it into your 3DS Max plugins folder.

 

Example: 64bit

You have 3DS Max 2015 (64bit, since there is no 32bit) installed at the following location:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\"

 

Move the following files:

GLM_Exporter_2015_x64.dle

GLM_Importer_2015_x64.dli

 

into

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2015\plugins\"

 

 

 

Example: 32bit

You have 3DS Max 2011 32bit installed at the following location:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\"

 

Move the following files:

GLM_Exporter_2011_Win32.dle

GLM_Importer_2011_Win32.dli
