Q

first off what is a .CSV file?

A

comma seperated variables EG

             |frame number|X position|Y position|Z position|X rotation|Y rotation|Z rotation|

Q

why would I want to use this?

A

Well you probably don't if you use max in isolation, but if you wanted to transfer movment or rotation infomation  from max to another program or vise versa.

eg I heard of someone who had a flight simulator and wanted to make a model of the aircraft move in max as it did in the simulator. 

Q

how do I use the plugins?

A

    Go to the little hamer in the top right corner of max.

   Click "max script"

    Click "run script"

    Find the dir you extracted the plugins to (I recoment "C:/3dsmax3/scripts")

    pick the object whose movement you wish to export or the object you wish to animate

    pick the file to save the info in or the file to get the info from

    press "GO"
