*Jeez, feels like I'm constantly posting "help me" threads nowadays*

Okay, just been looking through some magazine coverdisks I've got knockin' about and discovered I've got gmax. Wohoo!
(not much chance of a download with dial up)

Got it setup and runnin' but the display windows are all fuzzy, like an out of tune tv. I'm guessing it's the display I'm using (Direct3D) but can't find any set up jobbies, either in the proggy or it's directies.

Help me!

assuming it's like 3dsmax, on the top bar: "customize", then "preferences", and "viewport" tab. There you can setup the drivers and stuff.
SCREW CANON!

I assume you are aware that there is absolutely no way to transfer a model from gMAX to FS2, right? (Right? :nervous: )

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Is there not some way to go gmax -> m3d -> 3ds / cob, though?

IIRC GMAX cannot save to _any_ other file format whatsoever unless it does so through game plugins.

Tempest plug-in. I did a forum search here before asking and I vaguely remembered anyway.

I think it involves converting to the Quake3 format then to whatever.

We seriously need to see if GS wouldn't mind sponsoring the costs for a GMAX 2 POF plugin. ;)
