.nif plugins for gmax, and other versions of 3ds max.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/niftools/files/max_plugins/3.4/

This is the latest version of nif tools for max. The older versions worked for BC to Gmax conversion. These should too. If not, let me know. I'll get you some that do.

no this model isnt in SFC ive looked I cant figure out why it wont import, ive reset all materials to plain diffuse, but cant figure it out, im considering uploading the gmax scene if someone would be willing to take a look, I cant find any tuturiouls on this conversion

whats the polygon limit, I got progress but it crash's mod viewer now

ok here is the secne what am i missing, this is all my work up till now

candle_86 · « **Reply #6 on:** September 11, 2009, 10:32:36 am »

yea ive removed all textures, left the materials alone for when I convert the TGA's back to BMP and split the Alpha channel back into a lightmap, but I cant figure this out lol

candle_86 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 11, 2009, 10:39:44 am »

candle_86 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 11, 2009, 10:43:30 am »

candle_86 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:05:11 am »

Candle, if you can drop me a PM by the end of the day, I may be able to help port it over the weekend.. I think I still have some old tools that may allow porting from BC to SFC.

candle_86 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:00:35 pm »

got the porting done, some new things cropped up such as 3gmax reads BMP diffrent than TGA so Im having map the textures and his maps are the oddest yet but im working on it lol

Expect it to be done today at some point I hope, I have to do all new textures, ill send it first Fallen Warrior for approval and if he says its good we can upload it somewhere for yall, ill let him decide since he owns the rights

candle_86 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:37:01 pm »

ok yall choose minor updates as I go, I just got the engineering hull dune

candle_86 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 11, 2009, 03:32:54 pm »

also I tried some details cant be pulled in because the way its mapped, if I can figure out how to remap the model i can fix some minor detail issues such as the checkerboard
