I want to correct my previous statement about xml format. I coded multi-material support into my wip exporter yesterday and did some testing today. Results are way better than i initially described. I was able to export a 173k poly sphere into xml. Max ran out of memory when sphere had about 180k polys So I'd say, that my current exporter to xmlMesh supports models which have 170k polys. That is more than twice of poly count *.3ds supports.
The exporting process is multiple times slower when object has texture though. (Thats because of the Max way of storing texture vertexes).
Here are 2 test renderings i did with optimized Happy Buddha model (exported into xml format)

Textured version took 30 minutes longer to export !! 8)
Anyway. I just wanted to correct my previous statement. That's all.
And also xml mesh will be quite obsolet now when *.obj gets implemented so.. :) Good times are coming !

I like the multi-coloured Buddha :)

One limitation of .obj, AFAIK, is that it only supports one texture coordinate per vertex. Not a huge limitation, but a limitation nonetheless.

I'm doing materials in my own style like i'd like to see, but all help and feedback is wellcomed :D:D:D

tizxx the only thing that it doesn't like me could be problems between max versions and max9 64bits especially, but it could be an option to choose scripts exporter (compatibility) or plugin one (speed).

P.D. new shots in the first page of this topic.
