[Beta] - 3ds max 2013+ exporter

[GameMonetize]

Mais il y a des lumieres dans max?

[Dad72]

Dans max, les lumières sont des lumières par défaut (mais utiliser que pour max) il ne sont pas exporter, il faut ajouter des lumières manuellement pour que l'exporter les exportes et moi je ne met jamais de lumiere ou de camera, car je ne fait que des modeles et pas des scène en general.

Je pense qu'il faudrait dans la scène de l'exporter ajouter une lumiere si il n'en existe aucune tout comme une camera, si il en existe pas.

[GameMonetize]

No I do not add lights or camera. I don't kow for the camera but it can be easy to add a default hemilight

In the meantime, Max2Babylon exporter lets you know there is no light or camera with warnings 

[Dad72]

Ok, thank you

[reddozen]

How about an option to export all scene items to separate babylon files with their mesh name as the file name?

 

So if 20 separate meshes are loaded into a single 3DS Max scene, then it will make 20 babylon files with the mesh name as the file names.

[GameMonetize]

Is it not to much specific?

[reddozen]

Not sure. it's just a request. I won't feel bad if you feel that it's unnecessary.

I can't seem to get my animations to export using the tool. No error trying to load the file, but it doesn't render to the scene. It doesn't even load the model.

				BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "../Models/Monsters/", "Boss_Pukui.babylon", scene,					function (mapZone, particleSystems, skeletons)					{						mapZone[0].scaling = new BABYLON.Vector3(0.005, 0.005, 0.005);						mapZone[0].rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(0, -3.141593, 0.000000);						mapZone[0].position = new BABYLON.Vector3(-104.0314, 4.3437, -14.2259);					//	scene.beginAnimation(skeletons[0], 0, 250, true)					}				);

[Dad72]

just for 0, 250. These are the % should be 100 to play all the animation of the file.

scene.beginAnimation(skeletons[0], 0, 100, true);

This is just for information. 

[reddozen]

I have the animation commented out because the model won't even render yet, but I hope it hasn't been changed to a % from actual frames.... I need to be able to reference by start and end frame.

[Dad72]

This has always been in % since I know babylon

[reddozen]

Well, I found where he's loading, but I think I have a different issue... he's not scaling, rotating, or positioning....

 

I guess to load the animation i need to use:

animate(target, delay, from, to, loop, speedRatio)

What are the chances there is a way to already export out a light's range? Typically in Max we use the attenuation, but babylon recognizes light.range.

 

I can control it via code, but it would be nice to have the light's far attenuation's start and end value's for the light.range.

 

From babylon's tutorial's: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/wiki/06-Lights

 

 

NEW: In recent versions of Babylon.js, a new property was introduced... called .range:

light.range = 300;

More information about the .range property... coming soon. Stay tuned.

 

Thank you advance, everything else is great so far!

[GameMonetize]

range is already exported:

babylonLight.range = maxLight.GetAtten(0, 1, Tools.Forever);

[Dad72]

Hello.

 

I have several models which does not seem to be exported properly. When I load the scene, the models does not show.

 

Files to download (.max, .babylon, .html + babylonJS) : http://www.castorengine.com/babylon/Perna.zip

 

In 3ds max :

 

in Babylon :

THis is because you are using mental ray materials and not basic materials

[GameMonetize]

(and before you ask, there is no plan to support mental ray )

[Dad72]

Yes I understand for mental ray. It is a model that I have recover. This did not me who made it, so I do not really know how it was done. I'll try to see more ready with what you tell me.

 

Thanks

[Dad72]

In fact it is not mental ray material, but the material "two face" and not the material standard.

 

The material "two face" is planned in babylon? 

 

[reddozen]

We've talked about double sided support before. It's not likely due to the fact that you have to implement it with a shader. I don't think webGL handles is naturally.

 

The simplest solution in 3DS Max is to use the shell function and set the inner and outer amounts to 0. This essentially makes a 2 sided mesh.

 

Shell Modifier:

http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-E38BD284-3283-4311-AC29-3F699B2F04AA.htm,topicNumber=d30e96227

The sum of the two Amount settings determines the thickness of the object's shell, as well as the default width of the edges. If you set both to 0, the resultant shell has no thickness, and resembles an object set to display as 2-sided.

[Dad72]

Thanks Roddozen. The problem is that some models are download and are not mine and made a ways which is not good for babylon. I must redo everything the mapping... 

[Dad72]

There is a small problem with the positions of the textures.

 

Here is what I have in 3ds max :

 

 

and here is what I have in babylon :

 

 

Thanks

[GameMonetize]

Are you using regular material?

[Dad72]

yes. Standard material (texture diffuse)

 

I change the position of texture here : (décalage + taille + largeur + hauteur)

 

(Le décalage est a zéro dans limage d'exemple ci dessous, mais dans l'image plus haut, c'est régler sur 2.0)
