out of curiosity

[Ibrahim]

has anyone bothered or attempted to make a CAS importing and exporting file explicitly for eithers Gmax, or Anim8or? just wondering

:balloon2::balloon2:in advance.

As far as i know no. There's just Vercingetorix's one for max that imports to Gmax but wont export. It is one hefty ask to do the script when you look at the size of Vercingetorix's.

well-It would be nice if someone makes it (I'm already trying). problem is I dunno how to script his stuff.
well, thanks!:2thumbsup:

(I'm already trying).

If you manage that without maxscript experience I'll eat splinterfull wood in your honour.

[Ibrahim]

don't do that...eating wood is not a way of honoring me. eating your heart out is:clown:
just kidding. I still would prefer if someone with expertise would help..

Is vercingetorix still programming? If so, you ought to PM him

Havin done a little homework I believe the problem is that Discreet monitor what formats of file can be exported from Gmax by only letting Gmax run official scripts. It states in the EULA that only certain file formats can be exported from Gmax. This is presumably so that we dont all use Gmax instead of 3ds max. This means you are gonna have to break Gmax (illegal) to get it to export.

So it has nothing to do with the script and everything to do with the money involved in 3ds max - why you can import but not export.

Having said that if someone was to create a handy converter program that would convert from something common (.max .obj .md3 etc) into .cas then Gmax could be used to export to that file and then that file would be converted.

I see. would anyone like to volunteer?(that's beyond me)

also, how about animator? can someone write a CAS import export script on that? (again personally looking onto this)
because that would symplify the problem..

PS: those marketers at 3dsmax are real bukhshis:furious3::furious3:
