| Want to do one for a custom format, so basically have to do it from scratch. Igame seems to be the quickest/easiest option of writing one..but i'm still unsure how to go about it all. Any good links any of you exporter writers used to learn all this stuff? |
| ||
| just a guess, but perhaps "MaxScript" would help. |
| ||
| That was my first guess, but IGame(Some form of extension to 3d max or it's script lang?) appears to be a new method of creating importers/exporters though, in which you can use regular C++. Which is ideal for me. But your guess is as good as mine beyond that, I have all the artistic finesse of a druken chainsaw wielding maniac. |

| why don't u just use .b3d everyone seems to have adopted that into there workflow. if u just make an exporter for max then that limits max users to using your product. i would say that most people who have full commercial licences in a big package is either for lightwave, c4d or old versions of max. maybe you could make a custom exporter or ultimate unwrap, they have a full sdk for plugins and it is not problem getting stuff into it from any of the main packages. |

| Good idea for most cases chris. though considering this paticular product(not vividGL) is going to be primarly a C++ based engine I feel it's important to at least start with the custom format with support for the higher end apps. Or it might feel 'light-weight' in most C++ coder's eyes. I mean generally it's the userbase of an engine that extend it's support to the more 'exotic' formats unwrap etc has so hopefully everyone will be happy. eventually. |
