3dsToSm.exe doesn't work?

Anyone else experiencing problems with this Little program? All it seems to do is creating a simple 234 B .sm and a .rs file, and when I look at the .sm file with the BGA tool, nothing shows up!

Did you check the object names in your 3DS file? The converter may be expecting meshes to conform to certain naming conventions. Like LOD01_NameOfObject and COL01_NameOfObject for example.

Otherwise it won't know which mesh represents the collision or the visible mesh and defaults to nothing.

Ah, my bad! I will check this, and reply.

EDIT: Doesn't seem to help... I'm lost

It's probably caps sensitive as well. Since I've never used this tool, I can't tell you for sure how the objects should be named. But I'm pretty sure the object names is why it's not currently working for you.

Hooray!!! It works now!!!

After renaming the object inside 3ds Max 2013 to "LOD01" ONLY, it works!!!

Congrats! Knew it had to be the object names.
