Download Mirrors: Download from FileFront Download from Seriously! Full Description: 3DSMax exporter for Serious Sam SKA Studio. Requirements: 3DSMax 4.2. Character Studio(Physique) for Max4.2 It is developed under Max4.2 SDK and not tested on previous versions although it may just work. Installation: Copy SSMaxExporter.dle to your Max plugin directory. Export Setup: 1. Setup environment variable, ENGINE_DIR, to point to where you installed Serious Sam game folder, e.g., C:\SeriousSam. 2. In order to export Object/s, it must have a bone assigned and Physique applied. Export Options: Under File->Export, you will find there are three export options. 1. SeriousSam Export Files (*.). This option exports everything including mesh, animation and skeletons as a single export. 2. SeriousSam Animation File (*.AA) This option exports only the animation data. 3. SeriousSam Skeleton File (*.AS) This option exports only the skeleton data. 4. SeriousSam Mesh File(*.AM) This option exports only the mesh data. There are several options on the export dialog box. 1. Start: Beginning of the animation export frames. 2. End: End of the animation export frames. 3. Frame Rate: Frames/Seconds, default to 30 4. Displacement: Displacement offset of the animation frames 5. Global Scale: Object scale value, default to 1/100. 6. Skeleton Nodes: Select the skeleton nodes that you want to export. Useful when you divide the animation to upper and lower body. Limitation: This version currently do not export morph animation. And you must have a bone assigned and physique applied in order to export, however, it may not necessary to have them applied if you are exporting just static object/s or hard-skin animation by creating a dummy bone and default vertex weight to all vertices. But IĄŻll leave it up someone to take the challenge. Known Bug: The orientation of the bone is wrong but the animation will look correct. Development Note: This plugin is based on Cal3D. I modified it so that itĄŻs just good enough to be used on our project. If you think you are up for a challenge to fix the orientation bug, to support morph animation, and etc., please let me know. We can talk about how to improve it for the future version. User Comments & Ratings: Add Comment There are currently no user comments/ratings for this file.
