I tried searching and I found some people with this problem too, tried export to .X, .ASE, ect. but the best result I got is the bones animate but the mesh doesn't. I found on the net a MDL exporter plug-in for 3DS Max, but it's for 3DS Max 7 and seemed to be outdated too My model's an animated human character with physique.

Also, maybe see if the 3ds MAX manuals have anything to say about game export; I know that in the versions I've bought/upgraded (v3 to v6) has info specifically about games...not sure if they kept that in the later versions of MAX... ^_^ "We've got a blind date with destiny...and it looks like she's ordered the lobster." -- The Shoveler A7 Commercial (on Windows 7, 64-bit)

Seems like I have to save more money But, what does the Pro edition's "+weights" of bone animation mean? Do I have to do any coding to active this feature? or is it hard-coded and I only have to import the model to Med, Wed and it automatically works?
