DirectX material properties not exported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Open 3dsMax
2. Create some object
3. Open materials dialog
4. change material type from "standard" to DirectX
5. change material properties.
6. assign material
7. export
8. you will see only original MAX material properties.

It would be nice if you could spend some time to code a fix.

Actually I am not an expert when Max materials are concerned, by I here are 
some information that might help to get into this topic.

In EffectExporter::exportSimpleEffect there is already a check if a material is 
a DirectX material:
        IDxMaterial* dxm = static_cast<IDxMaterial*> ( baseMaterial->GetInterface( IDXMATERIAL_INTERFACE ) );

The IDxMaterial interface seems to be the right one to retrieve data from a 
directX material.

I have also found the following usages of this interface in the Max SDK samples:
samples\modifiers\uvwunwrap\unwrap.cpp
samples\utilities\collector\collector.cpp
samples\utilities\mappath\mappath.cpp

These might be helpful, too.

seems i found right peace of code: 
http://svn.kwxport.org/kwxport/trunk/kwxport/exportmain.cpp

lines from:
"IParamBlock2 *fxpb = materials[i].first->GetMaxMaterial()->GetParamBlock(0);"

Do you still need my help? :)
