lightsaber6458 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Madjai: I've downloaded the md3 importer and opened kyle's saber and I NEVER get the tags with it. Is there a trick to it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 firstly, are you sure you used the maxscript version? secondly, if you look at the top there is a "Load Tags" option, by default it is on Ignore, just click Load All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord -=[FBF]=- Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 check out http://www.btinternet.com/~howe_alison/brothers/tutorial/gmax_jkii_tutorial.htm for tags, uvmapping et al. and for polycounts, goto the last bar thing on the bit where the Modifiers List and Creat panels are (u know what i mean - i just cant remember the name) and click Number of Polys (or summat like that - its fairly obvious when u see it anyways). oh, and to resize ur model, use the Uniform Scale tool (its near Move and Rotate). make sure ur model is all 1 mesh (select 1 mesh, goto Modify panel, click Attach List, select all the other meshes) then use the Uniform Scale tool until the model is about 12 whatevers high and 2 whatevers wide (thats the dimensions of the original) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
