Installation
To run BmdView.exe you might need to install on of the following packages:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package x86 x64
- Install the kW x-port plugin from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kwxport/
IMPORTANT: If upgrading from an older version delete the BmdView folder and ImporterUI.ms in max's plugins directory.
- Unzip MaxBMD.zip
- Place BmdView.exe into 3ds max's root folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\BmdView.exe
- Click the MAXScript item in the Main Menu, select Run Script... select "UnzipedPath\MaxBMD.ms"
- Go to Customize > Customize User Interface and select the Toolbars tab.
- Search for "MaxBMD" in the category dropdown.
- Drag the script to any toolbar. Click the button to start the importer.
Once it's in the toolbar it will be automatically evaluated on startup and will be available to the user in future sessions.
Delete the MaxBMD-MaxBMD.mcr file from [MAX_PATH]\UI\MacroScripts.
Note: in vista this might be located in C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu\UI\usermacros
IMPORTANT VISTA NOTE: If your using vista the files you delete still exist and 3dsMax will still load them (Volume Shadow Copy).
If you get an error about "Math.ms" not found when you start 3ds max then download TextPad. From textpad open file and search for the MaxBMD folder and delete it from the file search popup.
