I don’t want to use vertex normals, how do I add/use smoothing groups?įirst you’ll have to clear the vertex normals. If you want to edit them add a Edit Normals modifier to your stack. The removes the need for smoothing groups and gives much more control. The importer uses explicit vertex normals to recreate the smoothing exactly as defined in the SMD. My model is smooth but has no smoothing groups? For each sub material select the diffuse texture and browse to where the actual texture file is. To correct the problem, open the materials browser and use the picker to get the models material. Because of this Max doesn’t know where to find the texture file and can’t display it. While the importer creates multi/sub-object material for the model it can only set the filename for the texture from the SMD. When I import my model, it’s all grey with no texture. I can’t guarantee to add it but I do consider all request. If there is a feature you would like to see added to the SMD importer, please let me know. I also need to know what version of 3DS Max you are using and if possible send a copy of the SMD file that was causing the error.

Describe the bug as best you can along with the steps needed to reproduce it. If you do find a bug that is reproduce able, please do let me know. I try to test my code as thoroughly as possible but the odd bug does slip through the net. Convert from left handed co-ordinate space – “Stand up” a model that was exported from another 3D app such as Maya.Īs this plug-in is currently a work in progress it’s likely that on occasion it won’t work 100% as expected.

Reverse animation – Reverse the animation on import.

Import first frame only – Only read in the first animation frame from an SMD and use it as the reference frame.

Skin mesh to bones – Attach the mesh to the skeleton using a Skin modifier and the vertex weights from the file.

Use dummy for end bones – Replace bones at the end of chains with dummy objects.

Use dummy for orphan bones – Replace bones with no parent or child bones with dummy objects.

Import bones – Import the skeleton from the file.

Import materials – Create a material for the mesh and assign face ID’s.

Rebuild smoothing normals – Smooth the model using vertex normal smoothing.

Import mesh – Import meshes from the file.

The following options are available when importing a model: In most cases leave these two options unchecked and press OK. You can use these to speed up reading of the SMD file if it’s large and you only want certain information. When you first start the importer, you’ll a small pre-parse dialog with two options to skip the mesh or the animation. dli file from that folder to you 3DS Max plug-ins folder and restart 3DS Max. Unzip the archive and find the folder for version of 3DS Max you are using and OS type (32 or 64 bit).
