Hi All
Just added a new feature to my MegaFiers system which allows the simple export of morph data from 3DS Max to Unity.
Chris
Ooo this looks so neat!
WOW this is incredible! Can the morphs be changed during runtime for something like character customization?
Yes everything on the MegaFiers system can be changed at runtime 
hi Chris,
As an ‘old school’ maxer, I’m very excited to see some of my favorite modifiers working in Unity! (Yes Virginia, there is functionality beyond polymodeling in Max)
So I’m assuming we can animate them via the Animation editor, but how ‘expensive’ are they to use? Are they something we can use with abandon or do we save them for special occasions? Are you seeing any significant drop in frame rate?
thanks,
Sue
Hi Sue
Yes they can be animated from the editor. As for how expensive, well all depends really, some of the modifiers are more costly than others, ie bend or FFD say, but I have in my test scenes objects the 10,000 verts with 10 modifiers acting on them and all runs fine, the MegaFlyer plane in the videos for example has over 30,000 vertices with a complex path deform and in a scene with two other complex meshes with multiple deformations and clouds it was running very nicely on my pc, they even run nicely on android and iphone, plus you can disable the mods at anytime or the whole system and keep the deformed mesh, so complex scenes with loads of morphs can be managed to keep it all under control, ie an object with 20 modifiers on could be scripted to update one per frame etc.
Chris
Is this in the asset store?
It sure is, it is a tiny part of the MegaFiers system http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/89750-Mega-Fiers.-A-mesh-deformation-system-RELEASE
Just done a Blender exporter and wonder if anyone has a nice shape key example I could test it on?
Exporter now available for 64bit versions of Max. Still looking for a nice blender shape key example if anyone has something they are willing to donate so I can do a video showing the process.
Chris
Woot!! 64bit max = buy.
Have you had any luck testing the blender exporter, I am hoping to get your system soon and having blender export of Shape Keys is important to me.
Thanks.
Not yet, cant find a suitable free blender file on the web and haven’t got the time to learn blender at the moment to make one, plus I am not an artist

Quick video of the new animation export feature from Max to Unity of Morph channel animations with MegaFiers
where can i take this cript or buy it?
Hi There
It is in the Asset store, search for MegaFiers
Chris
can i use your script on skinned objects
Yes all the modifiers work on skinned meshes as well.
Hi…
i already purchase megafiers from the website, but i can’t find the exporter file from my 3ds max 2012 64-bit to megafiers in unity. where i can find it or buy it? thanks.
You email him for it. But is it still needed now that Unity supports blendshapes? Unless you’re locked into an older version of unity.
