redrob41 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I recently got a copy of 3dsmax 2011 (up til now, I'd been using gmax). I can't seem to export. When I do, I get this error: MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception --Runtime error: FileStream cannot create: C:\Program Files\[i](blah blah my directory tree)[/i]\3ds Max 2011\scripts\nwmax\sanity\[i](model name)[/i]_sanitycheck.txt I'm running 64 bit 3dsmax 2011 (student version) on an iMac with 64 bit Windows 7 (installed through boot camp). 16 GB ram with a quad core i7 processor. I think I had downloaded the NWMax from this thread http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=201912 and I extracted the folder "NWmax" into the Scripts directory, and the autonwmax.ms file into the Startup directory. When I start the "Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 64-bit" application, the NWMax toolbox opens fine, and I can import ascii.mdl files without problems. After making changes to the model, I select the AuroraBase and try to "Export Geom only" (I've tried with "Do Sanity Checks" both checked or unchecked), and then I get the error mentioned above. When I used to use gmax, there was a separate NWMax startup application, which also launched gmax. Is there something like that for 3dsmax?

Working Class Hero Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Rename your NWmax folder to nwmax...I know that sounds really stupid, but I believe the export script is looking for that specific path. And no, there's no nwmax exe file for 3dsmax that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrob41 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I gave it a try this morning, and it seemed to work. Thanks . I never would have thought, in a million years, that the folder name being case sensitive could cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working Class Hero Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 You get the exact same error message as redrob had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomthingMachine Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah, except that it is 3dsmax 2010 instead of 2011... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrob41 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Another thing I discovered, is that with Windows 7, I ALWAYS have to right click and run as an Administrator. Otherwise, I can't export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
