model extraction: need help

[cchargin]

Hello all,

 

OK, I need help.

 

I have run into some problems trying to fully extract a model from kotor.

 

I need to know if there is anyone out there that really knows 3D modelling with max and also max script.

 

You see there are some options in kotor models that do not appear to exist in NWN models (like scaling a trimesh as in a lightsaber blade). So the NWN importers for max would not import them when/if I figure out what they are. So someone has to modify the scripts.

 

Also, some kotor models follow the rules, and some don't seems to. For example most of the models use a time key and a quaternion (total 5 values) for orientation in an animation, but the rancor model uses only a time key then 2 numbers (total 3 values) . What the heck is that?

 

If you want to help, let me know.

Perhaps you should ask Svösh about this. He seems to know pretty much about 3D modelling.

 

And thanks for the great work cchargin:)

I’ll help however I can but as for max script I know nothing unfortunately.

 

Some one else also appears to have made to have a model compiler/decompiler I hope we can test it. I used the v2 convert on the sabers just yesterday I tried a standard one a short and and malaks all of them had the quad blade the short and malak’s unwrapped effortlessly however the standard saber when unwrap was a nightmare. It was the 01 model ( blue )so I’ll try something else textporter did a poor job on the standard saber as well.
