I have done probably thousands of exports from 3DMax. If you are familiar enough with the technology here's some pointers.

  • Get the model into 3DMax and resize.
  • Make sure the whole thing is one object - so Attach everything to everything else.
  • Position the axis to the centre of the object and "transform"
  • create a small box at the centre of your object and call it UCX_name - where name is the exact name of your main object. This will be your collision box and it's best just to make it as small as possible
  • Export as an FBX ensuring TurboSmooth is turned on
  • Import into a second running version of Muvizu. Save and re-open the set containing just your object (this step may seem pointless, but believe me will avoid a lot of tears)
That's it.

OK, thanks.

In order for the light to shine only on one character, you'll probably want to choose a spot light with narrow angle]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2016 23:35:54 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic6114-can-i-attach-a-light-source-or-a-camera-to.aspx Message from Hauksbee Thu, 22 Dec 2016 22:06:09 GMT
