extended map-params When on, stores the Bump Amount value and UVW offsets in the MTL file. convert bitmaps When on, resaves existing bitmaps used in materials according to the Format seting and, optionally, the Size setting (see following). When off, uses the original bitmaps without resaving. Resaved maps go in the same path as the OBJ file, or, if Use Map-Path is on (see preceding), in the designated folder. When converting bitmaps, you can optionally turn on either of the following two options: ■ resize When on, saves bitmaps at the resolution specified by the Size settings. ■ 2n Scales each dimension of converted bitmaps to the nearest power of two. For example, resizes a bitmap of resolution 200 x 900 to 256 x 1024. Use this option when your target is a real-time 3D graphics engine. render procedurals Creates bitmap images of procedural textures such as Checker on page 5808, using the specified Format and Size settings. Use this option when the intended target program doesn't support 3ds Max procedural maps. Format Choose a file format for converted bitmaps. Choices are BMP on page 7328, JPG on page 7347, PNG on page 7360, TGA on page 7370, and TIF on page 7372. Setup Opens the setup dialog for the active file format. For details, click a link in the Format definition, preceding. Size For converted, resized bitmaps and rendered procedurals, sets the output resolution on the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Close Closes the dialog, saving any changes.
