I strongly recommend to read through the documentation and watch the 60+ mins of demonstrations. Note: model.cfg video isn't uploaded yet.
testedc on 2010 64/32bit, 2009 32/64 bit but theoretically should work with ver 9. min. for sure with 2008.
FAQ
1. When I run the script I instantly get an error message about a button.
The toolbox only work with 3dsmax versions 9 or higher. No support for earlier versions. Do not ask if a downgraded version is being developed. It's not because of the sheer amount of stuff that would need to be taken out, it wouldn't be a toolbox anymore.
2. When I export to p3d the models in O2 are not the right size
Work in meters, with the right dimensions.
3. When I export to p3d I get an error: Mesh operation on a Non-mesh object: Blabla" (In v 1.1 with patch 1 you get a warning.)
Make sure that all geometry that you want to export in converted to Editable Poly. Also make sure that there is no non-geometry objects (cameras, lights etc.) in the LODs that you want to export.
Restart the toolbox after fixing. Next version will include a warning.
4. It exports fine but when I try to load it in O2 it says Unable to load file. (In v 1.1 with patch 1 you get a warning.)
Make sure that your geometry is consistent of only triangles and quads. N-sided polygons are not supported by O2. Check things like cylinder tops etc. Better warning will be built in in next version.
5. When I check off Save Materials or Save Texture and export I get an error in max and the export is aborted. (In v 1.1 with patch 1 this is fixed.)
When you use this option make sure that ALL geometry that you are trying to export has at least one of the shaders applied as stated in the video. Silly bug, will be fixed. Meanwhile if you need to export untextured stuff just dont check off the boxes.
