maybe because... it would be quicker and be less hassle.

Theres been loads of threads on this.

Is there a 3ds Max plugin?

Yes, but it was never and probably will never be released to the public.

Get w3d_file.h and the 3ds Max SDK to code your own exporter

You don't have to do anything at all... Just export to .3ds, import that into gmax/renx, and export that in .w3d. No extra coding, plugins, or anything else needed.

SIr PHionex the UVW maps dont get transfered when you do that if we had a w3d exporter for max it would make meshing a breeze. the load UVW map in gmax is finicky and dont work for more then one uvw map if it works at all.

Lol...

You have no clue what you're talking about. The UVW mapping does get transfered when you export to .3ds to import into gmax. I just finished a pineapple grenade about a week ago with UVW mapping all done in 3dsmax, sent the UVW map to a team member to be skinned, and applied that to the model, exported that to gmax, and what do ya know? The UVW Mapping worked. Shocked :rolleyes:

Just because you don't know how to do it right, doesn't mean it can't be done. :rolleyes:

Could it be done with MAXScript?
The .w3d->.gmax thing was maxscript...
.gmax files and .max files must be very similar. If anything, the .gmax files will only be more primitive in it's capabilities, but a MS plugin like that is concievable.

I don't think you can do it via max script since you can't (I think) add data to the meshes like with coded exporters.

No, Greg Hjelstrom cannot own something that the company paid for. W3D has been, and always will be, property of Electronic Arts.

I thought the W3D format was a standard format?

W3D = Shockwave Format

Unless the two formats are completely different and EA have their own. Confused

:huh: thought it meant westwood 3d but after a bit of digging it seems shockwave to me.

it is westwood 3d, and yes, ea does own it

greg hjelstrom is the individual who built 90% of the code for w3d based engines, so he is often accredited for working with it.

the simplest thing to do would to find someone with great knowledge of C++ and the Max SDK, and pay them an ass load of money to make you an exporter, since we have the header & w3d definitions file, it is just a matter of exporting it properly.


W3D currently seen in -> Renegade, Earth & Beyond, Generals (zero hour).

Wouldn't it be really fucking funny if LOTR RTS used w3d.... probably does, as it screamed sage engine.
