Any idea why the model I've made has gone from 60 frames in 3DS Max to 9620 frames when loaded into a game?

Exporter used was Kw-Xport for 3DS Max 2011, had the same problem with 2010. I've also noticed that the demo "Dark Dungeon" has models with massive frame count so someone must know what's going on.

Thanks, Mal.

It's the way you set up the keyframes. Panda exporter has options in it like Sample Frames or Ticks only, play around with those settings if your exporter has it. You want to do max ticks only and it will only export the max frames only.

I tried that exporter before and had a lot of problems with it, I don't think the one I have has any options like that but I'll take a look later.

Thats odd I've never had a problem exporting with it before honestly, it lets me export multiple uv channels and everything, it's pretty good and gives you alot of control. I had some trouble when I first started out with it but then figured out the settings and its worked perfect ever since

its the exporter, creates more keyframes to make it smoother, if you try the model with 60 frames ingame, it would look jerky

Your signature has been erased by a mod - Please reduce it to 600x120 maximum size

Aright thanks, I'll just work with it as it is, I just have to figure out the right keyframes myself everytime I export models

If you don't manage to get the real frame count out of your exporter, you could still calculate it on your own.
If you made the animation to have let's say 60 frames and the output model from your exporter has 1000 frames, just divide 1000 by 60, then you know how much you have to advance your animation each frame. You can work out a custom play function like that.

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

yep that's what I've done, annoying though because the stretch always differs so I have to work it out for every keyframe for every model groooowl
