importing avatars with cal3d

[farshizzo]

Hi,

Vizard 2.5 uses an older version of Cal3D, so it won't be compatible with any files created using the 0.10 exporter. We have the Cal3d exporters for the version Vizard uses. However, we don't have the 3ds Max 8 sdk. I can give you the version of our exporter for Max 7, but I don't know if it will work. Send me an email at lashkari@worldviz.com if you would like these files

Hi-

I'm trying to figure out what version of Max I need if I want to do cal3d exporting for Vizard. What's the status for cal3d exporting? Can I export from max 7 with the old cal 3d exporter? or from max 8 with the new exporter?

Hi,

We have generated the Cal3D exporter that will be compatible with Vizard for 3D Max versions 5 through 8. I just noticed that the plugins are not on the download page. It may take a while to put them there, in the meantime you can email me at lashkari@worldviz.com and let me know which versions you need the plugin for and I will provide them directly to you.

I just checked back and they're on the download page. Thanks.

Hey-

I downloaded the cal3d exporter for 3dmax 8 and put it in the plugins folder, but when I started max, the dll and dle failed to initialize.

Hi,

Are you also placing the cal3d.dll file in the same directory as the exporter?

Yes. All three files are there. Should they be?
