Newest EDM Model Tools

[luckybob9]

I have try on the trial version of 2012 and when i opening any 3D object all i get is : File Open Failed

 

Opening in what sense? Opening a .edm file? That is not possible

We can't opening a .EDM file for modifying or view it ? the plugin only permit to save .EDM files ?

EDM plugin only convert 3DSmax to EDM. Nothing else. You can not reverse them. Has a "protection" method.

This is the old AlphaSim Osprey. Thought it looked familiar.

Yeah. If it is (and it looks like it,) NOT okay. This kind of thing is probably an offense that will get you banned on this forum, and for good reason.

For a continued OSPREY discussion please open a new thread and keep this one related to the EDM tools themselves.

I have basically finished ov 22., but the 3d model used without permission may not be popular

[Silver_Dragon]

How can i remove (new) MAX plugin ?

Id like to use an older plugin coz i dont like the new always-diffuse-shift effect (v.71641)

(i think this is builtin the plugin :( )

Have you tried installing an old version? It might overwrite it. If not, try the add/ remove programs from the control panel. If not that, I can dig up the location to the plugins manually. Let me know the outcome

[HungaroJET]

-- Not, yet. I just wanted to ask before i will try to install an older version (and screw up MAX)

 

It might overwrite it. If not, try the add/ remove programs from the control panel.

 

-- Iv run the installer again, and i deleted checkbox ticks but nothing happened. ^ I hope i will find installed plugin in "add/ remove programs from the control panel" - not checked yet.

 

If not that, I can dig up the location to the plugins manually. Let me know the outcome

 

-- Iv seen the plugin folder in MAX (AFAICR with 4 EDM files in) but i was not sure newer files will be overwritten with older files or not :dunno:

 

 

-- ^ Thank You Zach

I just tried the uninstaller and it worked fine. But they get installed here:

 

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2010 - 64bit\enu\plugins

 

And here:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\plugins

Verify that the file exists in the given location

Thank you bob,

it was missing, so I copied it from the "enu" folder into the "deu" folder.

But when I choose for example "default" as the Material, and try to export I get the following error:

 

Error: Uniforms: Can't get parameter Shader Basic Parameters->Specular Level. Material: TESTCUBE. File: .build\x86_64\vc100.release\Utils\NGModel_MaxPlugins\2011\Exporter\MtlKeeper.cpp:306.

Page 6 of the document in the first post should solve it. Screenshot of it attached here for convenience. In the material editor, find Material Attributes and assign it to default. As a reminder, set all unused maps to 0.

[Hitpoint]

Ive choosen “default“ as described in the pdf and i am getting this error. But what do you mean with setting all unused to 0?

Oh. Hmmm. Is your 3ds max in English language? Judging by the "deu" folder, is it in German? Did you assign a texture to it? What version of plugins are you using?

 

Attached screenshot for the maps

[Hitpoint]

Thanks for your ongoing support!

 

Yes you are right, it is in german. Could this be the reason for my problem?

I chage all the Values, except for the diffuse channel to 0. It did not help.

 

May I send you my .max file and you take a look?

You are very welcome! I monitor this thread so I can help. It might be the German language. If my memory is correct, there was a scenario a year or so ago where the German version of 3d max would not work. Can you install it with the English language and try? Sure. Save the file in 2010 version and upload it

[Hitpoint]

Alright, I try to reininstall in English first.

If this does not work I will come back to your offer ;)

[SkateZilla]

Wondering if I should update to a newer plugin... cuz it's been a while.. (1.2.1ish ? i think was the last time I updated)

[Hitpoint]

FINALLY! ;)

If you want. I do not think anything substantial has changed.

What the German language the issue?
