Installing the NeL plugins for 3ds Max

The 3ds Max plugins for NeL can be found under /code/nel/tools/3d/plugin_max/.
Use the max_plugins_public.sln solution for compilation.
Make sure that you have the 3ds Max SDK installed, which is available under the Support directory on your retail 3ds Max DVD.
You cannot use STLport for compiling the 3ds Max plugins, as this conflicts with the 3ds Max SDK.
Only the 32 bit version of the 3ds Max plugins have been tested, use 64 bit plugins on your own risk.

After compilation you must copy the following files directly to your 3ds Max directory:
  • \code\nel\lib\object_viewer_dll_r.dll
  • \code\nel\lib\nel_3dsmax_shared_r.dll
  • \code\nel\lib\nel_drv_direct3d_win_r.dll
  • \code\nel\lib\nel_drv_opengl_win_r.dll
