Text instructions
Also, here are the original text instructions for installing Prim Composer.
3DSMAX_HOME is the directory in which 3ds Max was installed, e.g., “c:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 9\”.
IMPORTANT:
If you previously installed SculptGenMax or Prim Composer, then you must first delete the files that you previously installed in:
3DSMAX_HOME\stdplugs\stdscripts\primcomposer\
If this is a new install, then you must also turn off True Color dithering in 3ds Max. If you don’t, sculpties will export with small random variations. Go to Customize -> Preferences -> Rendering ->Output Dithering and uncheck True Color.
Copy the maxscript files to stdscripts
Now copy the “primcomposer” folder that comes with Prim Composer into “3DSMAX_HOME\stdplugs\stdscripts\”. If it asks you to overwrite, say yes.
At the end of this, you should have something that looks like this:
Congratulations! You’ve installed Prim Composer! Restart 3ds Max and you are good to go.
