PMDExp

[Stuart Walpole]

• (updates to 3ds plugins -- requires knowledge of MaxScript through the Max SDK)

• http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7133

• "Max tools would be nice to have early on (simple bones and use of the skin modifier), but not extremely necessary"

• "I would just avoid holding off on doing things like catapults, swaying trees, grass, animals for a while (which isn't super critical stuff)"

• Support for non-biped animatable objects (siege, ships) vertex skinning and attachment (using skin and simple bones - vs. physique and biped)

• Export simple 3dmax bones and bone animations (for quadrupeds, fish, birds, deer, sheep, elephants - anything nonbiped)

• Skin information (for vertex assignments to simple 3dmax boned animations)

• Vertex based animation (like how 3ds saves its animations - for things such as trees falling)

• Convert exporter so it's usable in newer versions of Max and other modelling tools such as Blender (our current exporters only work in 3ds Max R6)
