I'm having trouble exporting a Pelican remodel with The Ghost's BlSt JMS Exporter in 3ds max 2010. I have created a model with 13 different objects not including nodes. I rigged the model appropriately to the npelican's nodes with some nodes that I didn't need on this model. I can't test the rig with npeli animations because bluestreak's anim importer is getting errors. I tried exporting to jms with the jms exporter 1.01 but it said no geometry to export. so i linked all the objects to frame and retried. It froze 3ds max (I waited about 5 minutes.) I have a relatively good computer so it shouldn't take that long. I figured i had confused blst so i tried linking objects appropriately. (things i rigged to frame i linked to frame and things i rigged to frame wing left i linked to frame wing left etc) It still froze. What am I doing wrong? -Banshee Friend (Xfire: ptowery4)

doesnt everything need to be attached together not just linked?

That would make sense but would also make rigging it difficult.

what if you rigged it first and then attached them?

Wouldn't that break the skin modifier? or is there some other way to attach without using editable mesh?

i think when attaching something it allows you to choose whether to keep the material id's or not but i dont know if there's a way to do it without using an editable mesh.

So, I managed to link and re-rig all the objects into 1 but it still freezes on export. Is it possible theirs too many polygons? xfire: ptowery4 and I'll send the file if you want to see for yourself.
