The 3ds Max FBX Plug-in is
compatible with the following versions of Microsoft Windows®:
Windows XP (32/64-bit)
Windows Vista (32/64-bit)
Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
To install the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in:
Exit 3ds Max.
NoteIf you install the
3ds Max FBX Plug-in while 3ds Max is operating, the installation
cannot occur. You will receive an “Error opening file for writing”
message.
NoteIf you have previously
installed older versions of the FBX Plug-ins, you may need to remove
these plug-in files manually. These files are removed automatically
during the installation process, but if you receive an error or
warning when you run the plug-in, check for older versions of the plug-in
files and remove them manually. To do so, search and delete the
following files: fbxmaxexp.dle and fbxmaximp.dli.
The current 3ds Max FBX Plug-in is
named fbxmax.dlu and must be the only installed version of the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in.
Double-click the install file to launch
the Autodesk 3ds Max FBX Plug-in installer.
Click I accept to accept the terms of
the license agreement, and then click Next.
The next window shows the recommended
installation location for the plug-in. To specify another location,
click Browse to launch the file browser.
NoteIf you install the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in to
a different location, the plug-in will not run automatically at
startup. This is because 3ds Max automatically searches the default
directory for the plug-ins. If you specify another directory you
must run the plug-in manually from that location.
Click Next.
The next window shows the recommended
installation location for the plug-in documentation. To specify
another location, click Browse to launch the file browser.
Click Install.
A series of dialog boxes appear asking
if you would like to keep older versions of the plug-in (if applicable),
open the plug-in documentation or view the read me file. Select
Yes or No for each of these options.
NoteIf you do not want
to lose access to the FBX plug-in that ships with 3ds Max, select
Yes to accept saving copies of the old plug-in whenever you install
newer versions of the FBX plug-ins
The Installation completed window appears.
Click Close to exit the installer.
