Chicanery Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Accepted fact: I know not of what I speak... I know NOTHING about modelling. On to the question: Any way of importing/converting Q3 or Q3 arena models into JKII? -Chicanery
Skellington Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Bumpity bump bump bump....as I just found a Q3 Vader, Jar-Jar, and some others that look pretty good. It CAN be done the other way (JK to Q3) as Raven did it with the Stormie as a pre-release treat for Q3 people.
Chicanery Posted April 5, 2002 Author Posted April 5, 2002 Exactely what I was thinking of... A couple of those models could be reskinned to work great in the universe (especially some of the Q3A models). -Chicanery
Chicanery Posted April 5, 2002 Author Posted April 5, 2002 Come'on, now... Someone must at least have a yes/no to this? -Chicanery
Vorax Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 You may be able to, but you shouldn't because that is copyrighted stuff and ID will not be happy. They have said before that they are not allowing anyone to do that. You could remake them entirely though. - Vorax
Desslock Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Quake 3 models dont have the necessary GHOUL2 parts that JK2 models do.
Jafo Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 No offence but there are way too many rip offs in these forums. Quality new skins are never really created in a day and using models from other games is just wrong and illegal. Im not blaming you im just saying anyone thinking its cool becuase you got a skin or model to work in JKII that doesnt belong to you is just a thief. All of these comments on importing Quake III models could only mean one thing a rip about too happen cause if you were the original modler you would know the answer. No offence to the original poster and im not pointing the finger its just an FYI.
Proto Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 OK, so can I convert .glm to .3ds or .max or any other format that 3D Max recognise and vice versa?

So, using models from other games (thieving) is wrong because its thieving? Your gonna have to give some more to go on there buddy boy. Who says the guy copying the skins is from a state that recognizes copyright laws huh? I may live in China for all you bloody know. Gonna tell me pirating or copying these skins is wrong? Skinners dont mind the spreading of their work, from my experience with them.

No offence to the original poster and im not pointing the finger its just an FYI. You appear to be totally in the blue here. If you get permission from the author, it is not thievery. And there is no use in creating the same model for jk2 from scratch if you have permission from the author to port it to jk2. UniKorn Mapper 4 Wired Lamp Studios http://www.wiredlampstudios.com
Skellington Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 I think you're misunderstanding what is being suggested. They're not models that ship with the game, or in any way are owned by ID. The models and skins in question are fan-made for Q3; if you can secure the permission of the authors to do the conversion, there's no question of legality. It's done quite a bit between games by fans; if the existing mesh and skin are decent, why re-invent the wheel? If the issue is creating a better version, that's a different story, and I totally agree, stuff designed for a specific game is usually best. But since there isn't such a thing yet... If not being setup for ghoul is the issue, then that's something else entirely. Damn, would have been cool to be able to bring in some new, ready-made characters. Guess we'll have to wait for the SDK, whenever that finally gets released.
Owen Posted April 6, 2002 Posted April 6, 2002 I convert Q3A models for Elite Force and was planning to do the same with JK2 since I have all the original author's permission but it is not going to happen. The Ghoul2 model system is a lot different than the standard Q3A one and until they release tools, I will have to wait and see. Owen's House of Games http://www.3dap.com/eliteforce/owen
