Exporting Geometry

[Craig Jolly]

When I am exporting actors, I can't seem to export a Group. Can I only export objects?

[Craig Jolly]

It seems I cannot export anything - editable mesh, editable poly, etc. I run the script, hit select all, update show selected, i see my object in the list, try to hit export, and get an error message that no objects were selected! aborting export.

I am running 3ds Max Design 2010 x64

[Todd Ethridge]

you will need to select the object that you want to export in the dialog box.

[Craig Jolly]

Thanks, that was it. I thought it was already selected by virtue of being in the dialog box.

Now I am stuck on importing the props that I exported. I seem to be able to create the directory - do I just dump the exported files into it?

[Craig Jolly]

I dumped the files into the directory and managed to get the geometry, but for some reason the animation did not come through. I may need a webinar on exporting an animated object (actor and animation) and bringing it into a template.

Let's try and find some time eary next week to go through it.

Sounds great, let me know when.

[Craig Jolly]

Scratch that - I was able to get the animation in and applied.
