I've imported tiger tank model (xmodel/vehicle_tank_tiger_camo) into my 3Ds max as .obj file, but 3ds max won't show it's tags, it's names, but when I open template file, which you get with UO tools, the sherman model, it shows all the tags.

What can I do?

p.s.i'm all new in 3ds max, at the moment i just want to add machine gun model on tiger and at tag on it so you can fire mg in game...

Pretty sure whatever decompiler your using, does not decompile the joints with the model, just the mesh init lad.

And what's wrong with Xmodel exporter? It's only program avaible for this purpose!

Ivan

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not a supported feature. You can probably merge the tags from the template with the decompiled model, I remember doing that a few times in UO.

You missunderstood my point.. but nevermind... can you explain your last sentence, I dont get it

Ivan

Guess noone knows...thx anyway...

Ivan

You can copy the tags from the template model into the same file as the mesh you decompiled, and bind the tags up to specific parts of the mesh so it works ingame.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure, and I cant check cause I'm on the wrong PC. But if you open an XMODEL file with notepad, it might tell you the coordinates of the joints, so you could basicly just re-make them yourself in 3DSMAX. The weights and what should be binded to what should be pretty straight forward.

Ok, but as I've noticed, there are no much modelers on this site..can you recommend some others?

cheers

Ivan

What? You want us to recommend modelers for you? I can model.. I can import models and rig characters... I have a lot of experiance with the cod4 model plugin etc, I told you why your joints arent importing into 3DSMax...... as has dobby
