Since I’m down on my luck getting the 2.02 PVRGeoPOD toolchain to export vertex colors I thought I’d try the 2.04 toolchain.  
  
  
  
  
  
Both versions 2.04.0765 and 2.04.0811 cause 3dsmax9 to crash when exporting UVs.  
  
  
  
  
  
Vertex colors or UVs. Pick one? 🙂

Please send us a minimal 3ds max&nbsp;file that shows the problem, and a screenshot of the exporter so we can see what settings you are using.

Thanks,
  

Aaron.

What email address should I send the .max file too?  
  
  
  
  
  
It’s super easy to reproduce this. Just create a box, assign it a material and export it with “mapping channels” selected.
