Common specifications in all model formats

Coordinate system (OpenGL compliant)

3DCGARTS assumes 'Right-handed coordinate system'.
But, 3DCGARTS converts coordinate system internally, so you don't have any configuration on your software.

Shader

Method Supporting status
Constant o
Lambert o
Phong o

Texture mapping (Expansion method)

Method Supporting status
UV o

But, 3DCGARTS does not support Multiple UV Map (Multiple textures are mapped to a material).
When you use Multiple UV Map, the texture will be uncertain.

Texuter mapping (Representation method)

Method Supporting status
Diffuse Mapping o
Normal Mapping o
Specular Mapping o

Drawing texture includes transparency

Z value of textures will be ignored.
To set transparency, see here (Japanese only).

3ds Max

The restrictions of 3ds Max file.

  • Max vertex numbers of a object
    • around 60,000
  • Max polygon numbers of a object
