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.

File for those who want to look at it (3ds)

Do you have Max? Have you exported a model from Max into RA2 successfully?
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.

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.

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

You can't get a .gmf from a model without Max. There just isn't any other utility.

Max Emulator
and it is for ra2 and it just for .gmf but lags alotttt

In the absence of a link and the first page of Google turns up nothing, I'll have to say I don't believe you. Show me this emulator and I may change my mind.

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.

duh102 · « **Reply #11 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...

ACAMS · « **Reply #12 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.

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's all of the motors I made. No textures.
