This is only apparent in the newest version of the FBX import plugin available from Autodesk’s site (version 2006.02). Previous versions of the 3DS Max FBX import plugin contain a different issue with weightmaps, for which there is a simple fix outlined below.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> FBX import plugins for 3DS Max that are older than the 2006.02 version often have problems importing content if the “Include Textures” option is checked in the export options. This occurs when there are image maps assigned to any of the surfaces. This can be avoided by either updating to the newest plugin version or doing the following: manually remove textures from each surface on the model before you export it from <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio. That ensures that the UVs will be read by the Max FBX importer, and then the user can manually set up the surfaces in Max and assign the correct texture maps.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> There are some issues importing FBX into Lightwave. See the user guide for more.</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> In addition to the standard system requirements for <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio, this plug-in is compiled against the 2.x SDK libraries and so requires a compatible version of the <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio core application.</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 id="support">Support</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <!-- EDIT2 PLUGIN_INCLUDE_START "public:read_me:index:start" [0-] --><div class="plugin_include_content plugin_include__public:read_me:index:start"> <div class="level2"> <p> Visit our site for <a href="http://www.daz3d.com/shop/help/help-contact-us" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="http://www.daz3d.com/shop/help/help-contact-us" rel="nofollow noopener">technical support</a> questions or concerns. </p> </div> <!-- EDIT3 PLUGIN_INCLUDE_END "public:read_me:index:start" [0-] --></div> <div class="level2"> </div> </p> </div>
