FAQ

Q. Some objects in the scene are not well placed?
A. Add a reset XForm on these objects and export.

Q. I can't export a biped skeleton from 3DSMax?
A. Export your scene using the FBX format, close your scene and open the FBX file. This action will convert the biped to a standart skeleton (tree of bones). You can now export your scene using the exporter.
