Skeletons.....

[ExarKun89]

Er.....I want to build my model around a skeleton (Tim model guide thingy) but I don't know how to get the skeleton. I imported the root.xsi skeleton but it is kyle's model and not just the skeleton....Can you guys clarify this for me?

[BacMeth]

import the root.xsi and select by name

-> select all kyle model parts and delete them

voila: there it is... the skeleton

another way to do this:

 

1.double click the pelvis bone (not plevis_1) this will select the full skeleton, when ur done, hide it.

 

note: press H in max to popup the selection menu.

 

2.Next select the tags (they are named bolt_fl_hip etc.) make sure you dont select the others named with _1 or _2 at the end, cuz there's at least 3 skeletons in there and 3 sets of tags.

 

After they're all selected, hide them.

 

3.Repeat the process for stupidtriangleoff, meshroot and model_root.

 

4.Once you have hidden all that stuff, select everything left in the viewport: meshes tags, bones, meshroot...etc, and hit delete.

 

5.Hit the unhide all button, and you are left with the skeleton and tags for LOD 0.

 

did that make sense??? or am i crazy?

What I'd like is a max file that already has the kyle/stormtrooper parts removed. I've been trying to get it right for a couple of dys now, but I keep messing up. Anyone able to help?
