Recommended Posts

Hiya. I was wondering how do you extract the models from KOTOR into 3ds Max6? i havent only just started Modding for KOTOR, though i still Mod for SWGB:CC (star wars galactic battlegrounds, clone campaigns.). so im sorry if im being Newbish :p . would it be possible if someone could explain to me how to extract, convert file format and so on so i can have the model in 3ds max 6? i have searched for a tutorial but no luck. this is very much appreciated thankyou.

There are lots of tutorials and tools to do what you want. The best to do is to read the Kitty Kitty's list of downloads or the thread guide for the newbie. There you can find tools to extract, convert and then edit 3D models.

 

One warning though. It isn't possible yet to set animations into Kotor models. Even geometry editing is very limited, because it affects game anim. Non-animated models, like guns and masks are a diferent matter you can do pretty much everything you want.

 

Hope it can help you start.

thankyou very much for the quick reply. ill start with making items and work my way through :). i mainly just wanted the models to extract and ill make my own animation in poser 5 :) (i have alot of expierence with 3d modeling, although im new to doing it for KOTOR). it shouldnt be to hard to make the model, but ive still got to work out how it is going to fit in :mad: i have the KOTOR tools program and the extractor (sp?). all i need to do now is work out how to use them :D

 

Edit: hey does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do equipment wise? as i dont know what is needed. i tryed to read the [q] Mod Request [/q] topic but its a bit messy and not all requests :p. any suggestions?

What about movie guns. Boba Fett shotgun would be great with my Boba Fett armor.

 

I think bneezy was asking someone to make the stormtrooper blaster E-11 and if you ask me i'd like to see Jango pistols to match my Jango Fett armor skin.

 

BTW, the anim problem is the same either to import from Kotor or to export to Kotor. Some subtle changes are possible though.

 

I was able, for instance, to flat the pockets from soldier clothes and mess with the Jedi robe a little bit. But when i tried with more animated driven models like heads i got this:

Hope it helps:)
