Title: 3D modeller without Max
Post by: duh102 on June 30, 2008, 06:12:02 PM: No, this is not another "wher do i get teh Maxxs?" thread. Rather, it's an offer to those who have Max 4/5 and would like to make a part pack.
To said Max owners:
If you would like to make a part or part(s), tell me and I can help with the models. Skins are not my strong point, but I will do my best.

EDIT: Here's a motor I whipped up. No texture yet.

I can try my hand at the wings and the tire's easy, but I can't make any attachment points because I can't export from Max because I don't have Max.

Post by: Trovaner on July 15, 2008, 12:23:16 AM: 3DS Max is the only modeling program that will export to .gmf (and only with a special addon). Thats why he is asking for help in turning his models (from a different program) into actual components.

Post by: Zana on July 15, 2008, 03:24:08 PM: or you can download a file converter... i had a sound converter i had a mp3 and i was trying to add it into a game and i look on the internet for a sound converter and i converted the sound to wav...

maybe this converter could help i dont know what 3dmodels it converts but maybe gmf
http://www.sharewareconnection.com/3d-object-converter.htm
and i know a model that already has .gmf file plugin but its $395 and its new
also i dont know where you could get 3dsmax 4.5 - 5.1 so...

also the model converter only works on

Win95,Win98,WinME,WinNT 3.x,WinNT 4.x,Windows2000,WinXP,Windows2003

Post by: ACAMS on July 19, 2008, 06:21:22 PM: If you made that motor you need to remember that the axle has to be seperate from the motor, but it can be put in the game with a little modding to the file in Max.
Title: 3D modeller without Max
Post by: duh102 on July 21, 2008, 10:02:08 AM: The axle is indeed separate. I have quite a few more, if anyone remembers the render I put up on the official forums in the OpenRA topic...

How many people with Max are left anyway? I know Darkrat had it, Click- and Firebeetle do text editing...

Post by: ACAMS on July 21, 2008, 10:20:48 AM: I put it in max and looked at it, anyway it is not needed because the angle motor does what it does.

Post by: duh102 on July 21, 2008, 02:02:34 PM: True, but variety is the spice of life... I was making these for the OpenRA project anyway (if they were going to continue to use the part-based method of bot building), not necessarily for RA2.
If anyone wants to have them, here (http://www.mediafire.com/?ztj2v92ndwm)'s all of the motors I made. No textures.
