If using 3ds Max 2013, you should install the recently released Product Update 6 (PU6).

Also, I am sorry for emails I haven't responded to promptly over the last few weeks.

I do have a slew of WWMT updates coming out in the next week or two that include various improvements and enhancements to physics models (prop_phys functionality and better custom gibs tools, hull enhancements). I am also working on CAT support. Honestly, I gave up testing CAT last year because it had so many bugs. But I will add full CAT support in the coming weeks if I find the latest versions of CAT both reliable and stable.

I must also point out that due to a recent change in my regular source of income over the last decade, I am now looking for new avenues to sustain my income. Please feel free to contact me for paid freelance work for creating assets, skies, environments and levels.
