How to Install the 3ds Max Plug-In

Follow this procedure when manually setting up the 3ds Max plug-in.

Installation Procedure

Shutting Down 3ds Max

Exit 3ds Max if it is currently running.

Prepare the Plug-In Files

Copy the following plug-in files (which are included in the package) to: [3ds Max folder location]/plugins.

Copy the following script files included in the package to: [3ds Max folder location]/Scripts/Startup.

Be sure to use the version of NW4C_Export.dle that matches the version of 3ds Max that you are using.


Verification

Start 3ds Max.

If NW4C_ForBanner has been added to the 3ds Max menu, the installation is complete.



If the Plug-in Does not Start

If an error such as "Failed to initialize dle file" appears when you attempt to start 3ds Max, download and install the security update patch from the following URL.

Select vcredist_x86.exe for the 32-bit version of 3ds Max and vcredist_x64 for the 64-bit version.


Updating the Plug-In

To update the plug-in, use the same installation procedure to overwrite the older versions of the plug-in files with the newer versions.


Installing Creative Studio

Creative Studio must be installed in order to use the merge and optimization operations of the Export plug-in because these processes are linked to Creative Studio.
(Optimization and Merge menu features included in Creative Studio are called inside the exporter.)

Uninstalling the Plug-In

First shut down 3ds Max normally and then delete installed files.
