Before a scene can be exported, the Max scene must include a camera, and you must specify an Active
Camera in the JSR-184 Exported dialog box. When a material map is selected from the JSR-184 hierarchy
list, the Texture Tool icon on the toolbar becomes active. Clicking this button opens the Texture Tool dia-
log box, shown in Figure 3.14, where you can precisely control the size and format of the exported maps.
To view the exported M3G files, the default installation of Max includes an M3G Player, which can be
found along with the other Max programs in Start ➪ Programs ➪ Autodesk ➪ 3ds Max 2011 ➪ JSR Viewer.
To use this player, the Java Runtime Environment needs to be installed. You can install it from the Max
setup disc.

Note
The JSR Viewer application is built using Java. If you’re having trouble with the viewer, try installing the latest
Java version from the installation DVD. n
