- Integrated texture convertion tool in the Resource Editor.
- Terrain FFP support. one first textured layer.

Ye of course: less batches, less "dead time" for graphic board

I have a request already: when you export, the material name for a multisubobject material is exported as material_1/volca_stonewall_01.
This is not nice because if I make materials by hand in NA then I have to take off the material_1 string everywhere everytime.

If it's not possible to strip it away (but I couldn't see why) then at least replace the / with a - so that the name can be made straight in NA.

Why should I make materials straight in NA?
Actually I think that fine tuning in the engine is still the best solution for materials, and setting them up well in Max and then fine tune in NA is only double work IMHO, I just prefer to go straight in NA.
Also, if you make the materials in Max, export, then fine tune some material in NA, and then reexport, you of course lose any change you made in NA...

Uhm, I just noticed that you CAN actually name a material in NA like "material_1/volca_stonewall_01", automatically the filename will be named "material_1_volca_stonewall_01".

So, that's ok for me... at the moment.
But this may lead to other problems/complications if you want to program a fallback system for shaders: you will have to automatically replace in all materials the / with the _ for filenames!

There's a bug, I think it's material related.
When I export more than one object from my map it always say that there is some duplicated key or similar.
The export works anyway, the second object is exported but if I add 3 then only the second is exported.
I tried with different objects.
Ivan if you want the full error message just tell me.

And there is a problem with the tex. coords when exporting a skinned mesh like the Rabbit.max with a bitmap material on is.

Um.. Could you make a version that will work with 3Ds max 6 7 and 8 as well? I use Max 8 for everything.. And would need this for it.. I would like to be able to use it too..

I doubt it. Ivan doesn't like to support obsolete software.

I like to support all versions, but it is impossible, because this versions are not support .NET 2.0.
Exporter demands .NET 2.0.
