Archangel35757 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 For the 3ds Max users out there... I've downloaded the original MD3 source code (from here: http://forums.duke4.net/topic/1065-md3-exporter-for-3ds-max-2010-x86-and-x64/ ) ...and have it ported over into a Max2013 visual studio 2010 project. It was compiling successfully until I added the DoExportMD3.cpp file-- which now results in 20 errors due to the Unicode conversion. I hope to have these errors sorted out by the end of this week. Also, @@DT85 - if you made any improvements to the code in your Max2010/2011 version then I would like to add your changes as well. Thanks. Link to comment

Psyk0Sith Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Max 7 version works since that's an old plugin. Haven't found a max 9(x64) version that worked. Link to comment

Archangel35757 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Unicode errors resolved. Both Max2013 32/64-bit versions compiled successfully (but this doesn't mean there aren't any runtime errors). @@AshuraDX is beta-testing the 32-bit plugin now. Link to comment

Archangel35757 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Seems familiar, pretty sure that's where I got the code from. Yeah I looked at your github repository... it's the same. @@AshuraDX says the 32-bit version works for him-- but textures are not showing properly... maybe he can expound on his findings. I tried the 64-bit plugin but it crashed max 2013 right after it created the md3 file for writing... leaving an empty md3. Nothing's ever easy... going to take some time I'm afraid. Has anyone ever tried the Maxscript MD3 exporter in later versions of 3dsMax? Link to comment
DT. Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Didn't know there was one? Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Didn't know there was one?Yes... both importer and exporter scripts... available from Scriptspot. Edit: sorry... there's only an importer. Link to comment

Did you compile a 32-bit version for Max2013... it's easy to set that up automatically in your project settings. (Note: MAx2013 is the last edition to support 32-bit). DT. likes this Link to comment

DT. Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Updated the plugins with a cleaner UI and dumping a not-so-useful feature (picking which objects & tags you want to export instead of all in the scene) which didn't compile with unicode. Plugin operation should be self explanatory now with better wording and an example of how to use frames. Psyk0Sith likes this Link to comment
DT. Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Stress tested the plugin by exporting a 100 frame cloth sim flag which turned out great in MD3view. Archangel35757 likes this Link to comment
