Hey all. Trying to install Datasmith 5.1 exporter to 3ds max 2020 and 2022. Installation goes OK, but in the export dialog, Udatasmith format isn’t an option. Uninstalled and reinstalled Datasmith plugins, same result. Maybe:
The uninstall doesn’t delete all of the files, and I need to delete files manually? Where?
If I remember correctly, the “export file” API / hook / callback in 3ds Max is somewhat limited, and being able to run the export from a full scene tool gives the exporter more access/control. I don’t remember the exact details (been 10 years since I was in that SDK) but that might be why!
