Our team has been developing a new installer for downloading the assorted 3D Studio Max files scattered currently in multiple places.

We would love for Creators who currently use Studio Max do build 3D products for IMVU's Shop.

If you are a 3D Studio Max using Creator please read on:

The new installer is available here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6s9486g398l54zt/AAD6wrq4LmZitZJVbHZjlY6wa?dl=0



The ReadMe text file provides further details and instructions.

What does this installer do?

--Consolidates various 3D Studio Max files and offers them in a single download - with Creators choosing to download what they want
--automates the installation process so that Creators no longer have to select the version of 3DS Max and drag files to the appropriate sub-directory - it automagically installs them in the correct place
--removes obsolete files from folder and makes files available by default (so textures now show up on the models without trying to point to each one)

Please test it out and give us your feedback via this survey link:

Thank you in advance!

Rolling Eyes Apparently Autodesk likes to play as naughty furries, lol!
The installers will never work everyone due to the different versions of windows and locations of the folders, the Company installers will never work and it is definitely not their fault, but Nerseus has it correct in his forum post! You have to locate the Autodesk 3ds Max folder and copy and paste the cal3d.dll in the main folder and the cal3d.dle in the plugins folder. Even the desktop app is in a different location, oh my! What I do really like about the installers though is all the files are organized for you so that is awesome. Thank you techies and try not to let those naughties get to you. Om and smiles!
Have a most amazing and unique webtime everyone;

Run the installer as an administrator and see if you have any better luck.

I do have a question.
It doesn't show up as an install, so the only way to uninstall the exporter plugins is to hope you know where they were installed at?
Would be nice to have an ability to uninstall.

Edit: Also will not install if your 3ds Max is running... For anyone wondering. You will get the "cannot find 3ds Max folder" error

Hello Varsha, thanks for the information on how to download this installer package. I think it's a good thing to have all the necessary files in one installer. A problem i see for now is dropbox. It requires us to sign up with that service prior to be able to download, which normally should be no problem, but i am sure that there are many users who don't wan't to sign up to a service for only one download. Is there a possibility to download the file from an IMVU server too? Maybe in future? Thanks!

edit to add:

i finally was able to download the file. So i unzipped it to a folder and saw that i must unzip it again in that folder. So it is unnecessarily packed two times. Just for your info. Furthermore it would be good to manually choose a path by oneself. It automatically installs it to my desktop which i don't prefer. It also would be good to have checkboxes for the files we wish to install, rather than clicking on each button. Just a thought. I also saw that we must confirm several times that files have been installed. For example if we install the furniture files we need to close several windows manually by hand, which seems to be not very handy. Survey has been made. Thanks.

I think this is a great idea that all the files are packed together in one pack.

Dropbox doesnt force you to sign in in order to download, I do agree though it would have been better to have these files hosted on the imvu server, but since so many people like to use and share dropbox, this might be the reason.

I do use autodesk max 2016 suscription with the new exporter installation that imvu provided and where you do not have the need to move the dll etc manually.

Excellent idea Imvu, even if I would have to move them Smile

Hello all,

When I unziped, Norton deleted me the files:
cal3d_max_exporter.dle
cal3d.dll
...
I have to try to disable Norton while I try to intall it.

That is just for the technical team's information, it's Norton 360 Premier, French release
