Hi, I need to export my model from MED to FBX format. But where is the fbx exporter? I have the newest 3dgs version. Is there any plugin to make fbx export possible?

Discreet Requires Fee's for exporting plugin abilities Opps thats opposite - But still. Med imports only FBX.

fbx was removed from a8. if you own a7, copy the dll from a7 to a8

I made some FBX export tests earlier (but focusing on level export, to work together with a 3d artist friend, but my trials were unsuccessful...):

I had the same problem, i found the solution : I found ! it was necessary to install the "Security Update for ATL Package
Microsoft Visual C Redistributable 2005 SP1 (x86) "(= version 8.0.59193).

a7 installed, but no fbx export. even with installed Security Update for ATL Package Microsoft Visual C Redistributable 2005 SP1. I want to export a model in med with correct uv mapping. Thats why I need fbx export. Have anyone else a solution?

if you have Milkshape, you can use some of its importers/exporters (e.g. .X). it does not include fbx, but maybe includes a format that you can convert further to fbx by another application.

I want to set a shadowmap on second uv set. Thats why I need to export from med.
I want to do the following:
-> MED: Calculate the second uv mapping
-> MED: Export model with uv map (fbx) --- The Problem
-> fbx converter: Convert fbx to obj
-> Blender: import obj
-> Blender: Bake shadowmap / SAO -> set to the uv map
-> Blender: export to obj
-> MED: Import obj

does obj support 2nd uv map? I'm not sure, but not impossible.

other tools that might help:
- Milkshape - its mdl importer is bad, normally crashes.
- Fragmotion - its mdl importer is better, but sometimes crashes.
- Ultimate Unwrap 3D - its importer is better, but I have problems with animations.
