: : You know who or what company is making that : : ascmaker? url? : I am. : www.quake2.com/modeling/q2modeller/ : Rest of original message below. : Phillip Martin : : : Ok, then i see your prob, even though its not : : : really a big problem. As I see it you have three : : : options: : : : 1. Wait untill the recompiled version of : : : ASCMaker is released. This plugin lets you : : : choose the mesh objects and export these(only) to : : : .asc format that can later be imported into : : : q2modeler to make up the md2 model. : : : You would then lose the bones without any problem : : : when exporting because you would not export them at all. : : : 2. Export the bones with the mesh for the entire : : : model, make the md2 and then delete the bones : : : inside a model editor. Again q2modeler has a face- : : : selection function (select connected) that makes : : : this very easy. : : : 3. Export all the frames and then import them into : : : max again, delete the bones and then export the mesh : : : again...this is a bad choice incase you didnt guess ;) : : : If you dont have to produce the md2 model really : : : soon then I would go with option 1 because that : : : plugin makes exporting really easy, both because : : : you loose the bones directly but also because it : : : exports a timesegment insted of frame by frame. : : : ASCMaker is supposed to be released any day now i : : : think... : : : If you do have to produce the model right away then : : : option 2 is not really that bad. If you write a : : : simple exporting script (you use max2 right?) then : : : it can be really easy if you dont have any problems : : : with the 3ds format. : : : Hope this will get you started. : : : Bye : : : Benny E. : : : : The problem is I can't delete the bones like : : : : biped. If I do the animation is screwed up. : : : : I also read somewhere that if I hide the bones : : : : 3dsmax still saves the bone which adds a huge : : : : amount of polygon count. : : Ok thanks..that will do. I've not even : : done any models yet, I just wanted to know : : my options. Thanks that will help me allot. : : You know who or what company is making that : : ascmaker? url? : : thanks again. : : John H.
