The exporter plug-in should be where all the other plug-ins are -- in Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\plugins, or whatever the equivalent path is on your localized system and version of Max.

To find the exporter in the Max interface, simply select File menu -> Export -> select ".X file".

If the plug-in doesn't show up in the "plugins" directory, then it might be that the German version of Max translates the registry key for where Max is installed (which would be a bug in that translation).

Obvious that theres an issue here and not one response regarding a possible fix or how to use this thing?

I tried on 3ds Max 2009 both 32bit and 64 bit and the plugin simply doesnt exist.

I decided to try to build from the source. Unfortunately I ran into these errors which I believe are due to differences in the version of DirectX SDKs we are using. Could you post up what version of the DirectX SDK you are using?

I'm using Max 9 on XP. Installer runs without errors, but no plugin or documentation anywhere.
Any chance of a .zip file instead of the installer?
Many thanks for this great exporter!

have the same problem... how i should use the xporter? i even looked at the helpers sections and tools section in my 3dsMax 8 and nothing, and the Documentation page is in blank! i found it looking at the registry too.. :( anyone knows a solution to this?

I have also had the same issue with a successful install but nothing appearing anywhere I'd expect
I'm using Max8 on Vista if this helps at all
