On the new Max CMP exporter plugin

Amen

You can also select the meshes to be grouped and when you group them the first time, you call the group lod* whatever. Then group again and name the component.

Root
–>lod0
–>Mesh
–>Mesh

And so on. Here’s a video of what I mean. Basically there only has to be the one lod node for the entire group. Or how ever many lods there are, so if you have 2 lods there only needs to be the (component name => lod0 Meshes) then under the same (component name => lod1 meshes)

Root
–>lod0
–>Mesh
–>Mesh
–>lod1
–>Mesh
–>Mesh

EDIT:

The version on the repository hasn’t been updated in a while. The plugin should split the meshes up by material ID now within thiere groups like in the video above. I dunno if the compiled version you are all using has the ability to do this, cause well I dunno who compiled it and where from. But basically the plugin can be a pain in the ass without it, unless you use a script to split the meshes up before you start grouping stuff. After you export your model if the meshes aint been split the textures will not show correctly.

Ya, I can didn’t mention that. If anyone wants a tutorial on setting up animations, I can do that, too.

Yes please, Sushi.

Thanks.

That would indeed be very helpful. Looking forward to it.

Alright. I’ll get to it when I can.

Please provide a link to the newest revision.

I think is what you’re looking for.

Thanks but it’s the old one.

the linked rev doesn’t do that.

Ah, I missed that post, sorry about that.
