0.01 - February 26th 2010 Initial version of M3 import script

  • Model mesh does not currently correctly bind to bones. This is a problem with bone matrices and vertices that remains to be solved.
  • Some models do not automatically assign materials properly, this is being investigated.
  • 3ds Max can be slow importing some of the larger models if you choose to import animation sequences. This is due to the inherently sluggish nature of maxscript, import animations at your own peril.
  • Some animations, mostly the walk animations, have a funky beginning keyframe which can cause a jitter when looped. This is due to the animation data for those sequences. You can manually move the start frame forward by one to eliminate the jittering.
