Since I use one VS2010 project to compile all the max plugins versions, I had to recompile everything, the longest was the max sdk specific libs.

I doubt that it will work with the ogre standard library, but give it a try

The folowing worked for me:

Compiled EasyOgreExporter with vs2008 (_SECURE_SCL=1 as default):

- compiled morpher.lib from max 2012 SDK in vs2010 with _SECURE_SCL=1
- using boost_1_55_0_vc9 libraries
- using standard Ogre SDK for vc9

Great ^^

exporting an object with morpher poses works correctly ?

log:

Writing Sphere07 mesh binary...
Info: Create Ogre submeshs
Info: create submesh : 0
Loading poses and poses animations...

crash while exporting.

I guess the other 3dsmax libs morpher.lib is linked with use _SECURE_SCL=0...

I will look into a more general way to export "shape animations" such as a wave modifier etc.

Yes this is the problem I got, that make me recompile everything with _SECURE_SCL=0

EOE already export vertex animations from this kind of modifier

Ok, I have trouble exporting a vertex animation.
A cube model with wave modifier. The phase is animated with 5 keyframes.
When loading the mesh file my meshinfo returns a "default_morph" pose animation with 1 track and 2 keyframes...

Ogre Meshy viewer does not list any poses...

Any ideas whats going wrong?

since wave or other modifier only have some keys for example start / end seed, you should check the "resample animations keys" option in the exporter.
otherwise it will only export the 2 mesh state on the keyframe but without the seed changes.

to name your animation use the time tag (see EOE FAQ)

Hi!
I still use 3dMax 8 SP3. Arkeon, how can I make EOE work with 3DMax8 without updating 3DMax to newest versions?

Hi !

actually this is not possible to make a quick patch to make it work with Max 8.
there is a lot of Max SDK API break between Max 8 and Max 9.
and it is so old....

Thanks, works great!
Since "resample animations keys" (one sample each frame) is a little too much, I changed the boolean resample parameter to a integer "frame_step".
frame_step = 1 equals your resample and can be used accordingly with GetFullSampledKeys().
For simple linear animations or looping rotations etc. frame_step 25 (in a timeline of 100 frames) works great.
I even added a max custom property to my toolset to define this frame_step per object (optionally).

good

can you make a patch to include this change in the main exporter ?

hi all!
I have a question: i'm trying to compile easy ogre export, and i've got some errors in this place of exMesh.cpp i'm using ogre static 1.9.... i've seen that is different the lod system from 1.8

Strange, the last version already use a version of Ogre 1.9 but maybe this has been changed before the Ogre 1.9 release.

the error is exactly in this code: and the error is:

Yes this have been changed in the last Ogre 1.9 version and EOE is compiled this a previous 1.9 Beta version.
I'll look at this when I'll have time

Ogre::DistanceLodStrategy is an abstract base class.
Use DistanceLodBoxStrategy or DistanceLodSphereStrategy instead:

lodConfig.strategy = Ogre::DistanceLodBoxStrategy::getSingletonPtr()

thankyou! I'll try!

a question: if my meshes are used to build a staticGeometry, the lod can be used or not?

Hi !

I've corrected the Setup issue, where the Dle files were copied on C:\plugins when the directory were not found.
The max versions check have been enhanced.

I have the problem of the C:\plugins dir, but in my case it happens when I have installed Max 9 and 10, just point this out in case this solution doesn't apply to a problem like mine.

Yes this should resolves your problem too

Hi,I have a little problem here:)
Does the exporter use the default world unit setting in 3dsmax? I use default unit setting in 3dsmax,I assume 1 unit in 3dsmax equals 1 unit in Ogre,bug after I export my scene,I got a smaller value than 1 unit,not what I want.I found that Easy Exporter using Meter as default unit? It will convert my 3dsmax scene unit into meter,but I thougt it use my world unit setting.Maybe we can have a combo box here, so that I can determine whether unit to use or even don't convert my unit

I'll see that, you can add requests here http://redmine.scolring.org/projects/eoe
by now you can set your scene in meter, 1 unit should be exported as 1 Ogre unit

Yes I use meter as default unit for ,my project,but still want a lovely combo box somewhere

Hi Arkeon, first I must say ... EXCELLENT WORK. There's always a "but" though, isn't there ....

But, I was wondering if this exporter supports keyframed morph anims. I have been trying to export a file with 2 channels in the morph target, both of which are keyframed. Using max 2014 and it results in a crash. I've used EOE for many models with only skeletal animation, this is my first try on anything with a morpher.

Thank you again for your work on this!
