spacermonkey Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 if you search for a gmax script - that imports exports md3, then it will also work with max 4.2 I would post a link but I cant find it atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madjai Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 ok bacmeth, i d/l that importer and it works like a charm, tags and all at first when i selected it under MAXscripts it did nothing, then i d/led a q2 importer, selected it, it brought the menu down and the q3 menu down, so it works, in gmax at least =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkentoad Posted May 4, 2002 Share Posted May 4, 2002 yo im also trying to the same thing. And i got no clue what any of you said. i got that script up it doesnt work. I really need to impot those models so if anyone can tell me what to do id appreciate it extremely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 4, 2002 Author Share Posted May 4, 2002 i really DO hope someone will help me/us hm another way to help me fix my problem would be telling me how to rotate the lightsaber blade.... the tag_flash tells the prog where the blade has to emit from... but rotating the tage doesnt rotate the blade... the tag_parent indicates the center of the model this one is important when the lightsaber is thrown... the model will disappear if you throw it without the tag the position of the tag_parent doesnt modify the tag_flash's rotation....

VEGETA2K1 Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 at the begingin of the script it says its a gmax script, read it before you come asking for help, as i dont think gmax scripts wil lwork for 3ds max(atleast not all..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacMeth Posted May 5, 2002 Author Share Posted May 5, 2002 yea its written for gmax.. but on the site where i downloaded it they said that it'd also work for max4.2 i started looking for gmax scripts because spacemonkey told me that they also work for max!

L2.0 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 Okay, to get this sucker working, you must put it in your scripts\startup directory, not the scripts directory. Once 3DSmax 4.2(5) loads up, go to MAXscripts, and the md3 importer will already be highlighted. This means nothing. Make sure you click on it and select it manually. Voila! Your md3 has now been imported into 3DSmax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Cloak Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Is there any way to EXPORT from gmax to .md3 format, WITHOUT having Tempest? I looked at the installation procedure...and I do NOT want to waste a gig of hard drive space just to unzip the dang pk3 file, and set all that other crap up. Call me lazy, but just to import md3s? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCobra Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 *bump* Just cause i still cant get it working .. And id like to see it discussed more Neither gmax nor 3dsmax seems to be importing script is run and in startup nothing in the maxscript menu.. im lost...
