Will do man! Thanks once again, and also thanks for providing us with such a great toolset. It really does make compiling for Source so much easier and Ive barely scratched the surface of the tools at the moment :)

That is very odd... I was doing exactly the same as you just tried but it still caused issues for me. I change the material name in Max to Window_01, and when I export, it for some reason reverts back to Object01, which is strange because Object01 isnt referred to at all in this scene.

Well, it must be a weird conflict with a script or something I have set up in my max. Perhaps I didnt install the tools correctly or something; Ill try reinstalling perhaps.

Anyway, for the time being, I can export just fine from 2014, so no biggy! Ill ipdate this thread if ever I figure it out.

Thanks for looking into it, I really appreciate it! And apologies for the awful formatting; im on mobile at the moment!

Interestingly, I tried doing the exact same thing with these assets in Max 2013, and it works fine.. So it seems to be an issue with 3ds max 2010. Hmm, any idea?

Here are the files I'm using (might still be uploading!)

Here are my settings, and also a screenshot of my export settings, and what the material name reverts back to.





And here's a shot of the export process:

Ok, that's understandable. I'll send you a file later which should hopefully re-create the issue.

The material name in the VMT is fine, I can export VMTs without an issue. The issue is that every time I press export on my model, even with my material named properly in Max, as soon as the cmd window comes up, I can see the material name revert to Object01 in the max material window, and the cmd window references 'Object01'.

I have checked the SMD and it also refers to 'Object01'. Its only when I hit export for some reason, it wont read my material name change.

I have tried it with other models, for example Box01, and even when I rename the object, the material still seems to revert to what it was first called, in this case where I changed the material of Box01 to something like 'testmaterial', the material still reverted back to Box01.

I am also not using any of the legacy texture options, and Im using WW SMD.

Im on my way to work now so I wont be able to get you any files or screenshots, but Ill update later. If you have any further thoughts, let me know!

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anybody has had this issue before.

Every time I go to export my model, I seem to get a weird issue where the material name of the object in question reverts back to Object01, from window_01 which it should be called.

Anybody got any thoughts on why this could be happening?

Thanks!
