Haptek Utility Script for 3D Studio Max

Haptek provides a set of command line tools and a 3DStudio Max scripted plug-in to assist you in the creation of accessories for use in the Haptek Player.  This will let you work directly in 3DStudio Max and export an accessory ready to be used with your character.

Note:  The utility script has only been tested with 3D Studio Max version 3.1 and version 5 but may work with other versions as well.  The command line tools do not depend on a version of 3D Studio Max.
