MAXLancer is a set of MaxScript-based tools for Autodesk 3ds Max (2017 or above) to import and export models for Freelancer.
The intent is to have everything in one place to streamline asset development and quickly get from modeling meshes to Freelancer model. This includes hardpoints, LOD meshes, HUD wireframes, hitboxes, compound hierarchy for complex models and much more.
- Import and export rigid models (.3db and .cmp) with collision surfaces (.sur) and compound animations.
- Import and export materials and textures (.mat).
- Import deformable models (.dfm) and animations (.anm).
In general I've been testing it mostly on vanilla assets so there might be some quirky models out there not compatible with current importing routines.
