Problem in biped exporting

[kmkbe webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,
I am fully new to shockwave 3D. When i export my biped character to a walkcycle from the
3dsmax 4.0, in the output file the biped character is not at all visible?! all other polygons
in the scene becomes visible. I am using "SW3D_Exp.dle" plugin for 3dsmax4 to export to
"W3D" format.

Any suggestions!
Thanks in advance.

Hi. You have to select the root of the biped and the mesh of the
character, make a group with them and then export. There´s a tutorial
from Mark Mc Coy at macromedia.com

Set the geometry export quality to 100 and try again.
Also pay attention: do NOT use two sided materials (are not exported).

Also,don't forget to group the biped parts and the mesh.

Dear necromanthus,

Thanks for your guidance.
I didn't use any 2 sided materials in the scene.
I have grouped all the things in the scene, and increased all the quality levels as per your
instruction and i have tried to change the options in the list but it didn't works!!!

I need more details.Do in this way:
- export that biped only (as W3D file).
- create a HTML + DCR file and upload them somewhere on the net.
- post the link

Thanks for answering again.
But my problem didn't solved so far. I have view the preview of the exported file from the
max enviornment itself from the exporter options. Even there the biped not visible after
grouped. After the same tested in the director environment there this also occurs.
