The MAXSDK should contain documents with file specifications for various 3D Studio file formats.I''am particulalry intrested in specs for the .3ds file format and the .bip animation format (Char. Studio).If anyone has these docs. and is willing to send them to me or give me an URL wher I can download them or something please post.Thanks... -=Jimmy=-

Check at www.wotsit.org I think they have specifications for the .3ds format. I don''t know about the SDK though...

I have read all these 3ds file specs and they all are incomplete.None of them desribes how to extract keyframer data just the meshes which I can load already.I thought that since kinetix now releases an SDK with MAX they will have the official file specs which I need.Thanx for posting though...

The SDK is released with MAX, I have MAX2 and MAX2 SDK, but, sorry, there are no informations about max file formats,just about how to make plugins
