# ALLoader
ALLoader is an **Autodesk 3dsMax** exporter (`MaxScript`) to `JSON` format; and a **WebGL Three.js** loader (`Javascript`) which supports **skinned**, **rigged** and **animated** meshes.
The loader supports to load the meshes, materials, skeletons and animations from separate files by passing an `array` of `path files` on first (`urls`) argument of `ALLoader.load()` function.
In this case, load the data in this order :
1. Materials
2. Skeletons
3. Meshes
4. Animations

- Run the **export.ms** script
- Customize the settings for the export
- Clic on **Export** button
- Choose the target file and clic **Save** button
- Enjoy!

## FAQ
Q. Some objects in the scene are not well placed?
A. Add a reset XForm on these objects and export.
Q. I can't export a biped skeleton from 3DSMax?
A. Export your scene using the FBX format, close your scene and open the FBX file. This action will convert the biped to a standart skeleton (tree of bones). You can now export your scene using the exporter.
_You can share feedback or discuss the project in the [discussion tab](https://github.com/antlafarge/ALLoader/discussions)._
## Todo
- Check every types of objects are well exported (EditPoly, EditMesh...)
