So i Have recently bought 3ds max 9... that means i now cannot convert to .mod format... without using the software illegally, so I may need someone to convert my models for me... I can still hp, and make all the bollock's that goes with it, but just cant finish.
saying that, here are a few simple models i made whilst being away... ;) two simple and basic ships.
Pirate fighter

so again, i have no means to create a.mod however i can and will release as are until someone can convert..

Simple can be beautiful and indeed these both are - excellent textures!
Can Max 9 save in max 5 format or is max 9 format compatible with max 5? I have max 5 and would be happy to convert for you.

Thanks smiley... to be honest i was expecting someone less experianced to offer their services, as you must have a workflow from hell to deal with, considering the work you do... but if your game and have time imbetween projects, greatly appreciated my friend.

Thanks FW... appreciated Buddy
-
I'm only a basher at this point but I can convert to mod if you don't mind someone with less experience than Smiley or FW. I need 3ds format and the conversion should go smoothly.
I'd be happy to help - I really enjoy your models.
-
Nice looking models! Looking forward to getting ahold of them. :thumbsup:

Importing a model and exporting isn't particularly time intensive - but we would need to find a format that preserves hardpoints, etc. (assuming you would still create these as part of the modelling process) - using .3ds would lose hardpoints.
-
try OBJ
-
I can do max 4.2 as well - can you export to a format that old? Modelling isn;'t high enough on my list to upgrade. I normally work with mod, shp (Starlancer), pof (freespace 2), or 3ds formats. I've never worked with obj but I could try that as well, especially if it preserves HP/DP. I didn't know 3ds lost them.
I also know how to use the SFC3 HP/DP utility to modify HP/DP. So if worse comes to worse MarkyD, you can send me a top jpg view of where you want HPs and DPS and I could replace any that were lost in the conversion.
-
3ds supports the hp/dp. Just tried it (export to 3ds and then re-imported) to be sure and they were kept intact.

Smiley hasn't been doing any work ;D I'm still waitin for that half finished dominion he was doing for raven like a year ago lol.

Thanks guys... I suppose i will upload the ships into a zipped folder, with varying fromats, so anyone with the time can convert them as they see fit. ;)

:p :p :p :p :p :p :p
I looked at that model the other day... there's just something about it that makes me feel less than happy about it. I don't wanna texture it until I get the model looking right...
(Oh and I stand corrected on the .3ds issue, apologies I honestly thought that it only supported meshes & mapping!)
