Hi Benjamin,

Export plugins are deprecated, we recommend to use FBX Import instead.

If you still want export plugins, you can build them manually from <SDK>/source/tools/plugins/Max. Small readme is located in the same dir.

Thanks!

Hi @silent,

From our experience, using FBX files are less productive rather than exporter in some situations.

With MAX exporter, you only have to export the .mesh file and engine automatically reloads it. When we use FBX importer, we have to manually re-import the .fbx file each time we generate a new version of the model.

FBX importer fits perfectly some other cases, but please consider to continue supporting these exporters because they are a good tool.

 

Best regards.

Yep, that's why new asset system is currently under development (with auto re-import of FBX files and other great features) :)

In my experience, the best for import fbx for our case is use Export plugin for 3ds max 2012, we still using it, that is very old, but i can do in him all necessary modify for right export fbx models to Unigine.

I try other export plugins, also import fbx in editor, but all have more steps (time consuming) for import to Unigine. It needed complicated modify of fbx file or have bugs, that don't allow export fbx models to Unigine.

Hi,

You can use FBX for that or any other format (OBJ, DAE, 3DS).

Thanks!

Hi

What type of object should be exported from 3dmax to FBX?

When I import fbx into UG I have(in UG) only object "*.node".

You can export geomerty (polygons), materials, skinned meshes, blend shapes and they will be converted from FBX to the Unigine internal formats (mesh + anim + mat) on import. Node file is just a container for all that objects with specific settings.

Right now there is no way to import path from FBX. We are working on resolving this, but I can't give you an exact ETA on this, sorry.

Hello @Vladimir_tyutenkov,

I've attached 3DS Max export plugin source code. Please note, that this plugin is incompatible with newer 3DS Max version.

Thanks.

Bonjour j'ai 3DS MAX 2021 et le plugin SDK ne fontionne pas avec ma version de 3DS MAX, une personne pourrait elle avoir une solution

[silent]

There is no working export / import plugins for the newest versions of 3ds Max (the last one is 2017). You can use intermediate formats for export from 3ds Max (for example, FBX).

[roland.fouda]

these plugins do not work with new versions of 3DS max (2021; 2022).
haven't you updated for these versions? it will help us to easily use 3ds max with unigine.

We do not support these plugins anymore (for several years already). Recommended pipeline now involves exporting your content in DCC tool into intermediate formats (such as FBX) and importing these files directly into the Editor.

Thanks!
