*3dsmax Plugins*

[ThaLegend]

I have looked around quite a bit and i cannot find any of the tools raven released for modeling. All i have in the way of tools right now is 3dsmax 6, Modview, abd a .GLM importer for 3dsmax6..... i cannot for the life of me get started in modeling if i cant export the work I have Done.

 

Im hoping someone can leave me some advice or put me in the right direction.

Well this site has tutorials and such for rigging a model to get in-game:

 

PyskOSith's Website

 

As far as an exporter, there is a working version of an XSI Exporter that can be obtained like so:

 

The direct link for the export plugin is here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40241&package_id=32639&release_id=205314

(Download the bin file)

 

If that doesn't work you can go the long way:

http://www.softimage.com/Connect/xsi/FreeConnections.htm

 

Click on "dotXSI xchange for Max - Export" , then click on "dotXSI4max" (the name seemed a little deceiving to me, more like it was for max 4 and not 6 ). You'll want to download the "bin" file.

 

Another helpful tutorial can be found here:

MacD's Addendum To SpaceMonkey's Tutorial

 

This can help with a few areas that may seem vague as described in SpaceMonkey's tutorial. SpaceMonkey's tutorial is indispensable though, so I'd check it all out.

 

 

EDIT:

Here's the different releases from Raven:

NOTE: The Raven releases do not include an exporter for 3ds Max 6. You will have to get that as outlined above.

 

Hope all this helps.
