** DISTRIBUTION NOTES **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Given that Max plug-ins are linked to the 3DSMax SDK (which is not Gnu GPL)
|
||
|
|
and to NeL (which is Gnu GPL), anyone distributing plug-ins in binary form will be in
|
||
|
|
breach of the Gnu GPL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In English than means that you shouldn't distribute the plug-ins as binaries.
|
||
|
|
You are, of course, free to distribute the source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THIS PLUGIN HAVE BEEN TESTED ON 3DSMAX3.1 WITH CHARACTER STUDIO 3.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** VISUAL CONFIGURATION **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This projects have been compiled with MS Visual c++ 6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must have the 3dsmax 3.1 SDK installed (by default, it is not).
|
||
|
|
You must have the Character Studio 3 SDK installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must configure your compiler and add the following pathes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/MAXSDK/lib to the lib search path
|
||
|
|
/MAXSDK/include to the include search path
|
||
|
|
/MAXSDK/include/maxscrpt to the include search path
|
||
|
|
/CHARACTER_STUDIO_SDK to the include search path
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maxsdk is "c:\3dsmax3_1\maxsdk" on a standard installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put the 3dsmax sdk include directories before the Visual studio ones
|
||
|
|
because there is some conflicts between them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** PROJECTS **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is three plug-ins in this package:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) nel_export : an export / view utility plug-in for NeL.
|
||
|
|
2) nel_patch_converted : a patch converter to translate max patches in NeL patches.
|
||
|
|
3) tile_utility : an utility plug-in to load tile banks in 3dsmax.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** DEPENDENCIES **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thoses plug-ins need some sub projects to work with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) NeL 3d library
|
||
|
|
2) NeL misc library
|
||
|
|
3) NeL openGL driver
|
||
|
|
4) nel_mesh_lib : library of functions to convert max Meshes and animation data in NeL format.
|
||
|
|
5) nel_patch_lib : library of functions to convert max patches in NeL format.
|
||
|
|
6) object_viewer : the common NeL tool to watch nel objects and animations.
|
||
|
|
7) nel_3dsmax_shared : shared dll for NeL plug-ins
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** INSTALL **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once all those projects are compiled you should have:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nelexport.dlu
|
||
|
|
* neltileutility.dlu
|
||
|
|
* nelconvertpatch.dlm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thoses dll must go in a plugins directory of 3dsmax. (ex: c:/3dsmax3_1/plugins)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nel_3dsmax_shared.dll
|
||
|
|
* object_viewer.dll
|
||
|
|
* object_viewer.cfg
|
||
|
|
* nel_drv_opengl_win.dll
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thoses dll must go in the 3dsmax root directory. (ex: c:/3dsmax3_1)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* nel_light.ms
|
||
|
|
* nel_material.ms
|
||
|
|
* nel_swt.ms
|
||
|
|
* nel_flare.ms
|
||
|
|
* nel_ps.ms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thoses scripts must go in the startup script dirctory. (ex: c:/3dsmax3_1/scripts/startup)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** FUTURE WORKS **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* We will add a macro define to remove the need of character studio to complile the plugins
|
||
|
|
* Support for 3dsmax 4. If you compile succefully the plugin under the 4 version, write
|
||
|
|
to us.
