3ds max 8 DDS plugin fix!

[Matynator]

Since 3ds max 8 can be a bit of a hassle with the dds image format as materials it sometimes errors on creating the device when trying to load in dds files.
I've found 2 possible fixes for it for both 32 bit and 64 bit windows.

---

32 bit windows:

It usually is enough to copy from the folder "3dsMax8\stdplugs\dxplugins" the files:

dds.bmi
dxDDS.bmi

to the folder "3dsMax8\stdplugs", so you basically copy and paste the files out of the dxplugins to the map before it!

---

64 bit windows:

Download the attachment and paste it into the folder "3dsMax8\plugins"

View attachment dds plugin fix.rar

this is a fixed dds.bmi plugin file specially made for 64 bit windows vista and 7
