mechatoine Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Gentlemen, I'm about to pull the trigger on the purchase of 3DS Max to be able to work on the module I'm dreaming of having in DCS (I know.. Long road ahead of me...). Question is, would 3DS Max 2020 work with the EDM export plugin? Do I need an earlier version? Thanks!

joey45 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I think the latest version is 2017. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

mechatoine Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Thank you for the replies, indeed I bought a yearly subscription and installed 2017 last night and the latest EDM plugin let me chose between 2014, 2016 and 2017.

aw33com Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Is there an advantage to using MAX 2017? I started the project few weeks ago where MAX 2016 was the latest support version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rudel- Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 2017 has issues with the plugin. When multiple ED ArgBase animations are created, 2 or more will animate while another is playing. Export is still ok though. If one does not mind the animation quirks, 2017 is ok to use. I use 2016. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo_HR Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi folks, Is Max 2016 still the best way to go for DCS? Also is 2017 still the latest version that works? I have a student license for 2018 and 2020 and its too late for me to pick up a legit 2016/2017 version :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightIntruder Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hello guys, I am using 3d max 2018. The plugin, however, doesn't let me choose this one. Is there any way to have the plugin working in 3d max 2018, like manual installation or something? Any clues or a workaround? I know that there must be a reason the plugin doesn't want to go with 2018, but... oh well, sometimes it's just a matter of small glitch or imperfection (I am willing to accept) that is not passing the ED's QA, I guess...

-Rudel- Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 2018 is when Autodesk revamped their code. During this time ED had been rewriting the plugin code as well. It wasn't until 2019 or 2020 when the plugin became avail for those versions, thus 2018 never had a plugin built for it. You'll need to upgrade or downgrade unfortunately.....or try using Blender and the unofficial plugin. https://magnitude-3.com/ https://www.facebook.com/magnitude3llc https://www.youtube.com/@magnitude_3 i9 13900K, 128GB RAM, RTX 4090, Win10Pro, 2 x 2TB SSD i9 10980XE, 128GB RAM, RTX 3090Ti, Win10 Pro, 2 x 256GB SSD, 4 x 512GB SSD RAID 0, 6 x 4TB HDD RAID 6, 9361-8i RAID Controller i7 4960X, 64GB RAM, GTX Titan X Black, Win10 Pro, 512GB PCIe SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
