Hey guys!


Aparently, 3ds max 8 has a probleman with DDS Materials...it sounds like that i can't import them, neither apply to the model.

I have googled my probleman and sounds like that this plugin is the solution...however i don't have the SDK to compille it [don't ask why, because you know why]...

Is there someone that could help me?

Attached File  3DSMaxR8DDSPlugIn.rar (191.04K)
Number of downloads: 0


Thanks in advance,

If you don't have the SDK how do you export correct W3Ds?

If you cant get the SDK to work (which correctly uses .dds files in 3ds max) then convert the .dds files to .TGA's in photoshop (using some sort of .dds plugin for photoshop)
