Matt-Liell Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 Well I made a model in gmax and I can't get it ingame with just gmax as all of you modelers out there know. I have a friend with 3D Studio Max and he can help me get it ingame but I need a complete list of plugins and files I'll need and any info on steps that are required!
Psyk0Sith Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 Alright here's what i use: -3D studio max 4.x -Raven's XSI plugin found in the 1st tool pack -Carcass (in toolpack) -Modview (in toolpack) -Notepad -Winzip -Spacemonkey's tutorial -Lots of MP3 and patience That's pretty much it. Steps: -Create the dir structure for my player (base/models/players) -Add _humanoid.gla and carcass.exe -Install raven's toolpack in there (base/tools) -Build the mesh as one object (or the least possible) around the skeleton. -UVW map -Segment the model into required body parts -Weight the tags to the skeleton (i re-use a skeleton i already weighted the tags to.) -Do the caps (those can be done after the weighting) -Weight the body parts/caps -Link the hierarchy -Export it to XSI -Keep my fingers crossed and send the model thru carcass -Create the .skin file -Load modview and check for proper mesh deformation -Go back to max and fix weighting (i ususally have very little to fix) Once i'm satisfied with results, i pack everything up and try it in-game. Let me know if you need more details or have other questions.
Matt-Liell Posted January 12, 2003 Author Posted January 12, 2003 Thank you so much, Legolas is on his way! But what do you mean by tool pack, I think I know but I'n not sure!
Psyk0Sith Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 Well the first SDK that was released by raven (with the 3d max 4 plugin, modview, carcass and other editing tools.) JK2 Editing Tools (v1.0) : http://www.jediknightii.net/files/index.php?link=file&id=950

Matt-Liell Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 Could someone give me spacemonkey's tutorial? I went to polycount but the pictures don't work and it describes some key information in them!
Psyk0Sith Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 You mean the tutorial included in the Tool Kit V2.0? http://www.jediknightii.net/files/index.php?link=file&id=951 Check my webpage for the original tutorial...hope Spacemonkey doesnt mind.
