Can you show your export settings?

If you're trying to run it in a custom program, try another program like the DXviewer that comes with the DirectX SDK and see if it runs then.
I've only ever had problems with physique and panda, its good for simulating muscle contraction etc, but if its a simple model, stick with skin.

I had a whole boat load of problems trying to export with panda. I finally got it to work with some pretty specific settings. What I did was just test/change settings/test/change settings until it finally did export the animations. I would take a screencap of how it is set up, but I am at work.

There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

Under '3DS Max Objects' Check 'bones'
Under 'Animation' You might change the 'Animation Sampling Rate' otherwise, it will make 30 frames for every frame inside 3ds max. Not really a problem, but it can make your animation slow If you don't adjust the speed in your code.(Also, if you change this... make sure to edit the:

Name Start End
Anim-01 0 100

Because it might change the 'End number' and not export all of it.



Select both the mesh and the bones manipulating it, and use Max's 'export selected' under 'File'

I don't know if this will work for you, but it is worth a shot! Good luck!

EDIT: Oops. I should've refreshed!! I ran the animation in DBP and it is... odd. Maybe the 'physique' modifier could be causing problems. But, I've never really used it so I'm not sure this may even be the case.

Sorry for bumping

i made a new object, tried exporting it after rigging, i had a biped, a mesh ( the one that has the physique modifier ) and another object, it exported the bones and the other object, but not the physique'd mesh, i think there is no hope of using panda .x exporter, how about exporting it as a 3ds or fbx or whatever, importing it into another program then exporting it as .x? i mean, a program that has a built-in X export,if that would work, what program would you suggest?
