------------------------------------------------------
running
- depending on the updates done on your windows XP you might need to install MSXML 4.0 from microsoft. google knows where to find it.
- bin/colladaExporter.dle must be copied in the 3dsmax6 / plugins directory.
compiling:
The env variable $(3DSMAXSDK) must point to 3dsmax6 / maxsdk. Some files have been deprecated from 3dsmaxSDK in the latest version, but those files are still needed, especially the physics API headers to export animation and skinning. you can probably remove the #include for the missing files in this version which doesn't support skinning.
else email me, or email discreet support.
If you get an error message about #import "msxml4.dll" failing, same remark as how to run, get MSXML4.0 from Microsoft.
