skater_craigd Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 hi, if someone could help me id be greatful, sorry if its been asked 1000's of times but ive never come across it :S basically im asking how to get Gmax models into 3d studio max... thanks for your time....again..... craig
Rebel_Spy Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 export the mesh on gmax into a .md3 file, and then import that file using 3dsmax, you must get the md3 importer script before!. Some time I read a tutorial about it, if I can find it I will post on this thread.
skater_craigd Posted April 23, 2003 Author Posted April 23, 2003 yeah the whole "export" thing... its greyed out in Gmax for some funny reason, it just wont let me export my files!!! any ideas there anyone ? :S cause im baffled... ill try again but i doubt ican figure it out... hopefully someone can tell me how ican do it, thank you though and cheers for replying, craig. P.S : If someone could comment on my model it would be great thanks again... My site/goto models/then bottom picture
Manquesa Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 you need to get gmax tempest, it's the quake 3 game pack for gmax. That will allow you to export to .md3. You can get that from discreets website, same place you get gmax from.
skater_craigd Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 yeah thanks for that reply helps quite alot, im at work at the moment so ill have to download it wen i get home and ill try then but thanks for the help... im guessing thats a plugin then? neway ill have a look for it now on discreet.com and see what it is cheers and thanks for the help ill post again if it works, ciao for now, craig =Sevled's Lair=
Rebel_Spy Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Well I'd downloaded the 1.2 version, and the md3 exporter was right there, I don't recall downloading the tempest plugins, maybe I did, but the memories are kinda fuzzy about that, lol. Anyway, get the tempest package, and you are ready to start modeling. Remember, you must be online in order to finish the gmax registration, yeah, gmax is free, but you must registrate on the discreet site and then you can use the software.
skater_craigd Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 dont suppose someone can tell me where to get the .md3 importer anywhere? :S icant find it lol... ive exported the file just ineed to import it now but ineed the plugin for maxm help please ? :'(
