I don't know how the hell it reminds me of a Super Aco. (hint: I like Super Acos

)

4 Stars.

It's sort of a cut-down version of 3DS Max designed with stuff like game models in mind.

EdrickV · **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2002, 01:30:06 pm

GMax needs "game packs" to be able to export files and the only useful game pack for FS2 modders I know of is the Tempest Beta one. Don't remember where it was but try following some of the GMax support links. It's somewhere in there. It allows exporting to md3 format which LithUnwrap can open. I don't know of any converters for the gmax file type.

Black Wolf · **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2002, 11:58:44 pm

I believe I have a way to do it now, using a program called 3D Exploration, a practically universal converter.

I have 3ds Max 4.0 ... Is that better or worse than GMAx?

Black Wolf · **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2002, 12:09:03 am

Yeah, GMax is just 3ds Max 4 designed specifically for gamers. 3ds Max 4 has more options and tools, but since I've never used 3ds Max 4 I don't know much about direct comparison. You can get a GMax plug in for 3DS Max 4, though so I imagine there're some differences.

GMax is a stripped 3ds max. no rendering features and such.

Better. Period.

GMax can't even export to .3ds format. (Or at least not with the free version.)

Unless there's some import plug-in I don't know about, (a distinct possibility) 3D Exploration, which has been "upgraded" to Deep Exploration, cannot import or export .gmax files. It's also not free, it has a trial version that basically turns into a viewer only after 30 days.

Black Wolf · **Reply #30 on:** June 02, 2002, 07:29:18 am

Yeah, I have a plugin to export files to Q3 files, which can then be converted by 3D Exploratoin.

EdrickV · **Reply #31 on:** June 02, 2002, 02:25:08 pm

Ah, in that case you might find LithUnwrap useful, if you can find a way to get it. It can also convert Q3 files and many others. And it was freeware.

I've just spent well over an hour trying to apply textures to this thing, and while I can do it they look poor and decidedly basic (3 textures, one of which is straight black for the cockpit). So, once I get the rest of the LODs done, if anyone who actually knows how would volunteer to texture this thing, well, I'd be most grateful.

Nice, nice, nice!:nod:

I give it four stars because I can't see enough.

However, I trust CP on the Vasudanism.

You have over 2500 posts. How could you not know better than this?
*sigh*
*beats Alikchi senseless with a dead fish*

Star Dragon · **Reply #39 on:** December 01, 2002, 05:39:44 am

Cause it looks cool and I can't model to save lives...

I wouldn't mind messing aroud with it. (Texture only). My 3rd day and I think I got the hang of this thing.

Behold (Lar's Templar model) resucued from model dump and now the unknown ship designated "Mamba" possible carier class (observe the black snake like apperance... Comments *runs*..

For Beyond Redemption

[edit]

ok I managed to skin a cool-a$$ed fighter (I think?) for the Mamba BUT PCS says I forgot to group the objects? It's only 1 object!!!!! No subobjects what's there to group? Can I do it in Deep exploration or do I need a modling program?
