Twisted Vertex Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I am working along side PIO, and helping him mapp his model. He is using Gmax, and I have 3d studio max 4.2 . Now the question is, What is the best way to work on his model? I attempted using this script by Cookmans (or something like that) and it imports md3 for max 4. But when i run the script using max script, nothing happens.....Any input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z7Deadalus Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 i have only found an md3 exporter for max 4.2. no importer. gmax has an importer though. go here: http://www.btinternet.com/~howe_alison/brothers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradFu Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I'm having trouble with that script, too. I run it, and nothing happens. After running it, I try importing and opening, and can't do it. What are we doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Vertex Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thats werid, casue when i Open the script it comes up as a text document. But when i attempt to run it, it doesn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 ok heres what i did. put the file into your scripts/startup folder goto utilities, maxscripts then in the pulldown that shows the script click it once to pull down the menu and click the md3 importer and a bunch of new stuff SHOULD magicaly appear below the script selector, scroll down. if it doesnt appear, d/l another script, any script and do the same steps.

BradFu Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Hmm, I'm a bit confused, Madjai. Could you take a couple screenshots to show us what you mean? When I pull down the Maxscript menu, I see the following: New Script Open Script Run Script Maxscript Listener Macro Recorder. If I do Run Script and choose the importer, nothing changes in the Maxscript window. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madjai Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 step1: you see this http://www.geocities.com/madpostal2002/step1.txt step2: you click that so it rolls down, then click the roll down importer http://www.geocities.com/madpostal2002/step2.txt step3: something appears down below! http://www.geocities.com/madpostal2002/step3.txt step4: go look at it, omg where did that come from! http://www.geocities.com/madpostal2002/step4.txt EDIT:: oh i should probably warn you, youre probably going to get an error, i dont think the importer likes the exported .md3 that gmax gives... so i suggest you simply get milkshape 3d, import the .md3 and export it as 3ds, though this is only good for loading the mesh.

PIo Koon Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 when i export the model as a 3DS...and import it back in...all it is is the eyes..the rest of the model disappeared..this isn't working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradFu Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thanks Madjai! That first screenshot answered all my questions. I was looking in the entirely wrong place I'm able to import md3 just fine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
