Hello,
My name is Raymond Stewart. I am the Principal Technical Artist on an unnamed title at Kixeye. I am evaluating a project wide upgrade from 3dsmax 2013 to 3dsmax 2015. I have found that 2015 Fails to export LOD data. Please find the included file.
In 3dsmax 2015 (Including service pak 2) fails to Export LOD info.
1. Create an LOD set using the 'Level of Detail' Utility.
2. Export with FBX 2012, 2013, 2014.
3. Import into a game engine like Unreal 4.
4. Get no LODs.
Alternate repro
In 3dsmax 2015
1. Create an LOD set using the 'Level of Detail' Utility.
2. Export with FBX 2012, 2013, 2014 in ascii format.
In 3dsmax 2013
3. Create an LOD set using the 'Level of Detail' Utility.
4. Export with FBX 2012, 2013, 2014 in ascii format.
5. Compare the 3dsmax 2015 and 3dsmax 2013 FBX files.
6. See that the LOD information is obviously missing in the 2015 file.
