I am un/officially taking over NiNtoxicated's import and export scripts for 3DS Max, as he has decided to no longer continue with it's development as far as I know, and I am trying to prioritize the development of new features.
I currently am working on stabilizing the exporter, working on fixing glitches dealing with meshes primarily (bone weight issues, flying vertices, etc), and fixing any glitches with the currently supported material types (Diffuse, Normal, Specular, and Emmisive). There are a couple of animation issues that I also want to take care of before starting work on new features.
The second priority is adding support for cameras (for portraits) and then I will be working on supporting lights.
At some point I will also begin working on rewriting the program to be standalone by writing exporters for the more common modelling applications (Blender, Max, Maya, and Softimage) that will create an easily human readable format, as some people have requested something similar to the workflow we remember from Warcraft, which will then be converted to an .m3 file. I also intend on making this standalone program offer support to fuck up otherwise perfectly fine normal maps so that they can be used in SCII (because Blizzard is special and can't make it so that the community can mod anything without years of concentrated effort to reverse engineer the ridiculous shit they develop), likely basing them off the actions that Otixa developed for Photoshop.
I wish to expand on this list. So please leave comments on what you would like to see supported, things that you need it to do that I haven't thought of, glitches that you've encountered (if possible please post a screenshot or description of what's happening as best you can), or anything else related.
