Hi,

  

I use thd SDK of version OpenglES 1.0,&nbsp; I generate pod file from Max file. My question is&nbsp; why the Pod file I generate is different from the pod file in the demo's.&nbsp; My pod file is bad and not valuable.&nbsp;&nbsp; For get the reason, I translate the max&nbsp;provided by&nbsp;the demo to pod file,&nbsp; and instead of the existing pod file in the demo.&nbsp; The resault is different ,&nbsp; who&nbsp;know the reason, help!!  

  

  

&nbsp;  

thanks

PS:

when translate the max file to pod file .how to select the options. eg. I have tranlated the OGLES-1.0\_WINMOB5\_POCKETPC\_ARMV4I\_CL\_2.02.22.0756DemosOptimizeMeshMediaSphere.max to pod file,&nbsp; and its size is 270K, however OGLES-1.0\_WINMOB5\_POCKETPC\_ARMV4I\_CL\_2.02.22.0756DemosOptimizeMeshOGLESSphere\_fixed.pod is just only 176K.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello,

&nbsp;
  

If you point the pluging to the original&nbsp;file in the SDK (overwrite), the&nbsp;plugin&nbsp;will pick up the same options&nbsp;that were&nbsp;in that&nbsp;original file.
  

&nbsp;
  

Best regards.

Carlos.
