Re: Max 2008 back to Max9

With exploded… -

Re: What FBX type and version is the most ideal for UDK?
I have never really had a problem with any particular version of the FBX exporter. From time to time the plugin does seem to break -- if this is happening just switch it back to "Autodesk Motion Builder", then re-input your export settings.
