Exporting DAE in 3DS MAX 2014

Hi,

I am looking for an exporter for .DAE files for 3DS MAX 2014. I use this programe to model and couldn't seem to find an exporter. If anyone uses the same or knows of an exporter any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Rob

 

That was quick! I'll have a snoop around there website and report back on the results.

Hmm looks like they only have 2010 as the latest one...

 

I have successfully done mods to the DAE's using bog standard 3DSMAX 2014 without issues (I modded the Off road wheels from the pickup onto the van ). I suggest clicking export, then selecting 'Autodesk collada' then the MOST important step is to change the 'Axis conversion' 'Up Axis' to 'Z-up' (this is in the export menu after you select the directory you want to save the .DAE, if you don't do this you're going to have a bad time.). I reccomend saving the export config as a preset called 'BeamNG' to save you time later on.

 

Did some bit of research and found this : https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCOLLADA/wiki/OpenCOLLADA-Tools
Latest version is compatible with 3dsMax 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 versions, but not 2014. I suggest you to try, even if the 2014 version is not listed.

 

Perfect wish there was a thank button! I Had written that off as not working (visited the wrong page by the ooks of it but after a bit of fiddleing got it working perfectly

thanks again,

Rob
