Reply With QuoteHave a look at this page. It says it's for 3DSMax5, but I'm sure they haven't changed the modelling interface drastically with version 6
i have a question about 3d max 6
i want to make some objects for unreal tournoument, and i wanted to use 3d max for creating these objects
- do i need some plugins: importers ore exporters?
- and how can i put the files in the "right directory" so the unreal tournoument engine can read the "object that i created
who knows a tutorial for ut2k4 so i can learn the basics
thanks
greetings

Have a look at this page. It says it's for 3DSMax5, but I'm sure they haven't changed the modelling interface drastically with version 6
i want to start from the beginning so i dont make mistakes
ok, i have 3d max 6 and i know the porgram verry well now, i learned al the tutorials
if i want to create an object for UT, where must i start?
step 1 - i start the programm 3d max
- i simpley way create a sphere that i want to have in the game 3d max
- i save my "sphere creation". And now, what must i do know, to inport the file to UT and in witch directory i must put the file?
thanks for your help Ulukai
greetings bas
The quick and dirty version is that you have to export the object from Max as an .ase file, save it anywhere you like, then use the File > Import dropdown in the UEd static mesh browser to bring the .ase into UEd.
Exported objects must be a single (not compound) object, and texturing / UV Mapping is a different story altogether.
But that's the basics of getting stuff from Max to UEd: Export as .ase, import via UEd's static mesh browser.
thanks,
I'm really not that sure what you're asking exactly.
What is it that you want to do? (other than make a mod for UT, because that's a HUGE question and simply can't be answered in a single reply -- or even a dozen replies)
You shouldn't need any import / export plugins to get basic, static geometry from Max6 to UEd... You don't need them in Max5, and I can't imagine Discreet removed .ase export functionality from Max6.
Fordy's static mesh tutorial pages (found here) are probably your best bet for starting out... They cover everything from setting up Max to Vertex Colours. Very comprehensive, quite well-written.
For skeletal meshes and animated things, you WILL need the ActorX plugin. You can find that at UDN.
-we use the endine and editor from far cry
- ok i'm goanna made the characters and new objects that i can put in the far cry editor
and we can place the objects in our self made world (new objects)
the first thing is, that i know how to make objects like barrels, i dont know yet how to make a character ( but i hope il find out soon)
if i made an object and i save it, i save it as .MAX
but the editor of far cry cant read .max
WHAT MUST I DO TO GET THE EDITOR TO READ THE FILES I MADE
i thought the file name must and like this .(far cry) < this is not the right one but it is a example
must i download an exporter and importer to get what i want
Um...
Now you're talking about the CryEngine?
That's pretty much not Unreal at all. But you will need the CryTek SDK to export models from Max into a format the CryEngine can deal with, iirc.
thx for the farcry exporter
i put some files in the plugin directory from 3dmax6
3d max hasn't given errors while starting up < this is good
ok if i do this in 3d max to (open the cry exporter)
utilities/more../crytek exporter2 > then you get on your right side, an toolbar about export "notes"
(i'm not good in english "i'm dutch")
- if i made an sphere as an test, and i want to save it as .cgf < this stand for geometric information
could you explain me in a few steps what i must do
example with the slasches>utilities/more../crytek exporter2/.../save
i looked for tutorials but i couldn't find them
your a GREAT person "the only one who is helping me"
I thank you for that

in my post reply above
my special thanks to
I apreciate the help that i get on this forum.
but i stil need sopme plugins and have some questions
ok
i need (necasary) the importer from the game: farcry
i need ( not necasary ) the importer and exporter from the game: unreal tournoument 2004, morrowind
thx.
the questions are:
i made an barrel with 3d max 6
i have the exporter from the game fracry and i exported it as .cga / .cgf
i want to know how i can let the editor read this file.
IMPORTANT.
i didnt gave the barrel a script ore something " i dont know how to do bytheway"
is it so, if the editor can read the file "my barrel" and i import it to an existing world.
that if you walk to the barrel , that you just go through it < its a bad sentis, sry for that.
- also i gave the barrel a texture
must i put the texture in a folder of farcry, so the engine can read it,
Very sorry for my poor english
thx all.
