Lord -=[FBF]=- Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 if u mean a skin (using the Jedi Trainer model) you dont have o load it into gmax, just redraw the skin .jpg files. however, if you mean making a whole new model, the only way to import the Jedi Trainer into gmax is if u can get him to a .md3, and it would probably be easier just to make a new one, as the model is imported as a bunch of merged meshes, so u cant really change the model like that. we really need a .xsi importer for gmax, because the best way to model is to import root.xsi and build your model around it, but the only available one only works for 3dsmax. this is a total bitch, but the only thing u can do is email Raven and ask for a set of tools (plugins, whatever) designed for use with gmax to be released, or else save up for 3dsmax.

Windu Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 I have 3ds max, but I can't import a single thing. I don't know if I'm missing a plugin or what. Where can I get a ".xsi importer" from???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord -=[FBF]=- Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 theres a file called XSIImporter.dli (that extension might be a little out) under MAX in the Tools folder created under GameData when you install the official tools pack from Raven (try the files section of jkii.net if u dont have it). stick this in the 3dsmax folder under Plugins, and restart the program. incidentally, how much is 3dsmax retailing for atm? at one point it was about 3 grand, has it dropped yet?

DarthDarth Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 thanks now that i installed the importer what file do i import to edit the mess? I'm such a new ^_^0 Thanks, DarthDarth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord -=[FBF]=- Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 u need root.xsi, which will be under gamedata/base/models/player/kyle/root.xsi, and also under different folders at base/models/???. im not sure where to go once u've made the model tho, so try spacermonkey's tutorial, which comes with v2 of the official tools.

DarthDarth Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 It still won't let me open the root.xsi do i change the file type? Hum, I don't know what to do, and the guide u said was in the tools, its not there on top of that the model guide that coems with it won't open. It makes some wordpad erors or something... Peace, DarthDarth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
