3DS Max Exporters for BMS
-
Dave…
Latelly the exporter crashes a lot and i cant export the model im making. I use 3ds Max 2013 x64 and the exporter of course for this version. On Exporting the model as soon i hit the ok button the aplication crashes. u have any idea what may cause the crash?I usually find that to be a material issue. For some reason, 3dsMax can get confused with materials at times. Here’s what I have done to fix it when it happens to me:
1. Select all objects (usually something recently added or changed materially)
2. Assign a blank (unused standard material) to all objects
3. Reassign the correct material to the objects
4. Export and see what happens -

4. Export and see what happensDid that. It worked fine. But after 2-3 exports again the same, sometimes it just started to grow the model in poly/tris only when exporting it (meaning the saved model) and then crash… Only if i do select all of the “parts” of the model and do an “export selected” i have no problems. Maybe caus i have the dofs/switches as modifiers and not as seperate linked objects? Anyway even this way the model works fine all the switches/dofs etc… Anyway for me its ok just to select all parts and export them as 1 model. But im new to all theese and i wanna know if I do something wrong.

Beside what is said above, a DOF or a Switch without anything linked to it will also
crash the exporter.Means you can nest the Switches/DOFs if necessarry, but the last child has to be 3D geometry.
Usally I export only selected objects anyway, and usally I use DOF and Switch helpers,
… not the modifiers. because it’s IMHO better to keep track of those helpers
and the objects linked to it. (looking at “schematic view” for example)Sent from my laptop using keyboard.

Just as lazystone noted, exporting selected objects is the way I operate as well.
If you are getting increased poly’s, it sounds as if you are somehow copying the model/parts of the model inadvertently.

Since this exporter only supports 2010/2011/2012 and i have 3ds max 2014, would someone help me out with exporting a model for me?
-
Supports and 2013.
Send it over and I’ll export it for u.Iirc it might work and for 2014 but u might have to manually place the files to the correct paths.

I confirm that it will work with 2014.

Hello WaveyDave
As 3d modeling tools updates and the licensingprocess is different and also the features are progressing rapidly and as the saves only covers 3 versions back its beginning to get outdated. I´m more then aware that all work is free and that its our problem, but please just consider to make a version that works with 2017 and with that secure the future abit. If I knew the magic I would help but unfortunatly I struggle just to make vehicles in 3dsmax so…stupid but persistent, I will have some updates to Falcon one day; ofc in the department of the not so prioritized sections of objects, but it suits my skilllevel
All the best!
/Cheers

2017… :lol: I have 2018 already…
-
Well ;.) 2018 is fine. How?
Situation is that my license is expiring and 2013 is no longer up for download. Starting dofs soon on my darling J35 (Just to learn and go thrue every step from first polys to Falcon 3d), but 12 days left on the license and cant renew/no longer supported. Well its up to the gods I guess
Cheers!

2014 works with the exporter if that helps.

Someone sits on the 3dsmax 2013? Student license is not supporting it anymore.

Spammer Alert… Spammer Alert… :lol:
I should start a devs - modders hotlist and instead of Dunc’s Category Help NWS key (Or how to steer – turn while on the ground)
I will have…
Pumpy’s Category The exporter works with 3ds max 2014.
