cryengine 3.5.8 exporter, 3ds max 2015 issue

Hi,
I'm getting this error while exporting the geometry. Please help. It looks like it has something to do with the resource compiler. Material file was exported without a problem. The model is just the basic box.

Are you using the right plugin? (CryExport17_64.dlu)

Yes. It doesn't come with 3.5.8 but I found it and put it in max's plugin folder. crytools installer said everything was ok. It added itself to max's interface. I exported the materials with it. I don't know what to do.

Unfortunately an 'export failed' error is not really very helpful or informative, as is typical of Cryengine documentation. Maybe you could acquire a different version of the resource compiler (rc.exe) and try that, or see if you can get it working with a Max 2014 demo first and the RC and plugin that come with the free SDK. Once you get the RC working things should get a little easier.

I am having the exact problem for the last 4 days. Using 3.6.6 . Have no idea why.


Here is what I got with mine ( 3ds max 2013) Working fine until Monday.

I've switched to Max 2014. It solved my problems.

Hello, I've the same issue with 3Ds Max 2015. Some one can help because I haven't got any other 3Ds max version ^^

Thanks

Magicool

they don't provide the cryexporter for 3ds max 2015 with the free SDK anymore because it wasn't ready at that time

According to Cry-Adam you also need at least CryEngine vers. 3.6.x for the files exported with 3ds max 2015 to work

You could also use the resource compiler to export single, static meshes. Just drag your .FBX onto it and it will convert to a cryengine file.
