Export Camera information in 3Ds Max
Author
I want to export the camera navigation information in 3ds Max to a file, and using DirectX to moving the eye to achieve navigation.
Could anyone give me suggestions about exporter or anything?
Thanks.
I wrote a MAX Script that does exactly that (plus exports the light movements and attributes). Here's the link to it:
Artificial Script Exporter
It requires a note track set in Max with keys SS-name and SE-name (ScriptStart, ScriptEnd) so that exporter knows from where to where to export.
Use this test max file to test the script and see how my keys are set.
tentintro.max
I can also give you a VB.NET code for loading the script, but you should be able to change the export script so that it exports into something you find usefull.
This is the kind of text file it generates:

Thanks your help.
The tentintro.max can't be got from the link, and I still not know what the words "It requires a note track set in Max with keys SS-name and SE-name (ScriptStart, ScriptEnd) so that exporter knows from where to where to export." means?
Executing the maxscript shows a "save *.as" dialog, but I got nothing using my own camera.max file. My camera.max file only contain camera setting, no model information.

I got the tentintro.max file now, and got the same results as the above.
But my sample max got the error : "MAXScript FileIn Exception: -- Runtime error: Attempt to access deleted scene object <<"
I don't know what's wrong.
