JK3 models > MD3

[Rusty_Nails]

Glm & Md3 models are basically the same right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but anyway - is there a way to convert the Glm models to Md3? (Including self-picked models and all that jazz)

 

Thanks,

Open glm with 3d max and export to .md3 (or use milkshape)

[Rusty_Nails]

Sorry, I meant 'self-picked animations'.

 

Any ideas on how to get the animations to tag along there from the .cfg file(s) ?

 

I use Milkshape 1.7.0 by the way, if it requires 3DSMAX to do this then I'll do whatever I can to get ahold of it.

Well, the animation data is available in XSI format, available for download at lucasfiles.com and pcgamemods.com, IIRC.

That's pretty neat, but could you guide me through it more through?

 

I downloaded the _humanoid animations, basically all the stuff the player does and then extracted it into its own unique folder.

 

After that I fired up Milkshape, opened up the (example) Jawa model. Clicked the ANIM button at the bottom right corner, then imported an XSI animation.

 

Nothing happened. (tried importing without and with skeleton and fiddled with all kinds of variations)

 

Any suggestions?

Last i heard Milkshape wasnt compatible for JA anims and models...get XSI or 3D Max.

[Rusty_Nails]

Thanks, I'll check up on it.

I guess I should've seen it coming, I've come to a dead end.

 

I have 3D Studio Max 7.0 at the moment, but the supported formats aren't what I need to import the GLM & XSI files.

 

I'm guessing I need to download a plug-in for this so I can import the models+animations and then export it to MD3, right?

What exactly are you trying to do? .md3 isnt for player models, at least not in JA.

[Rusty_Nails]

I want to convert a few models (w/ animations) to Md3 - that's all.

Player models?

[LightNinja]

but md3 in JA doesnt have animations

>_>

<_<

[CortoCG]

Actually the first person models are md3 and they have animations =P. But I don't think Rusty meant that anyway.

Yessir, but I wouldn't mind converting the Mutated Rancor @JKA as well.

[LightNinja]

So you wanna make the rancor a player model as a md3??, well i think im lost.. :/

[Rusty_Nails]

I think so too.

 

No, I want to convert GLM models (player AND non-player models) to MD3.

You cannot convert the .glm models o .md3 and keep the animations right away. You'll have to import the .glm mesh into 3dsmax, and the desired animation data from the dotXSI files supplied by Raven, then re export everything to quake 3 .md3. At any rate, I think using Raven's animations in other game that isn't JA or JO is illegal and not ethic.

[Rusty_Nails]

Not to worry, I am not looking out for distributing any of these. I'm doing all this behind closed doors, so to speak.

 

But anyway, as far as importing the stuff into 3DSmax, I would need a desired plug-in for this, no? Seeing as the currently supported formats are all but the ones I need for this.

 

So, any idea where to find this plug-in?

Search with google.com for .glm or ghoul2 importer for max and a .xsi importer for max.

Sorry to bump a really old thread but I'm kind off trying to do something similar. I'm making my own ioquake based game and I would like to use some of the custom skins made by the fans for JA. Any advice would be nice.

[Psyk0Sith]

In terms of workflow it's pretty straight forward:

Import .glm into max, rig to a biped, export to .md3
