3DS/OBJ to MDX converter 1.2

[Linera]

I give it a 1/5. It will run but after selecting the source file and where i want to save the mdx and then click convert the program crashes.

 

[King_Ryan]

you could try re-downloading it.

 

[VengeanceGhost]

You cant give it a 1/5 for crashing. because it doesnt crash for everyone :twisted:

 

[Whitefox]

its good but can you plz make a mdx to 3d's convertor?

 

[_-nexXxor-_]

year... need one too!

 

[Nightmare_X]

It is preaty usefull. I give it a 2/5.

 

[MR. FJ]

i can't use it if i can't convert .max files into .3ds files

 

[Polar_Bear]

Plz make a w3d conveter!
I beg you plz

 

[BrownSnow]

would be useful if i had 3DSmax... very good. Please make one for Gmax 1.2 also.

 

[oha0001]

Where do I get 3DS MAX 4

 

[rht27]

it works for me, use lith un-wrap and save it as 3ds

 

[SSK_Legend]

These posts are old but annways, You can BUy max 4 but i dont suggest you do you should get max 8 which is what i use and ALL MAX's can Export as .3ds so your just a fool, and gmax iam almost certain Can export .obj you guys should read up this stuff before making a fool of yourself.

Can u Great a tool to Convert *.one to *.mdx & *.mdl :?: .

 

[IsKall]

ok i have tryed all i can to get 3D Studio Max 8.0 but all cost Some money

 

[operator]

I'm trying to convert a file, but the program just close without any warning

 

[Arusar]

i download this tool 5 times...

and always crashes

 

[Serbianbeast]

can this tool convert .mdx to .3ds? If not, can you tell me which one can?

 

[Tilidion]

Personally I was tired of making models in blender and then converting them to GMax just to use the Dexporter tool that took forever to use. 4/5! Nice Tool and works great.
it would be a 5/5 but when I converted from .3ds to .mdx it didnt convert the texture (which may be hard to code). This can be solved by converting .mdx -> .mdl, changing the .mdl into a .txt, changing the texture name to whatever you want, changing .txt to .mdl, and converting .mdl to .mdx. Favorite tool by far.
(Changing the texture name so it works[below])

Textures 1 {
Bitmap {
Image "Textures\CityStructures.blp",
}
}
Materials 1 {
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode Transparent,
TwoSided,
static TextureID 0,
}
}
}

from that to this...

Textures 1 {
Bitmap {
Image "YOUR TXT FILE PATH HERE EX: war3mapImported\example.blp",
ReplaceableId 0,
}
}
Materials 1 {
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode none,
static TextureID 0,
}
}
}

Ofcourse it costs $$, the thing itself has a retail price of 4000 dollars

 

[koler]

just cant seem to get it to work, ive tryed everything. downloaded it 6 times,restarted the computer twice and using diffrent models
but it still just crashes on convert

cut the last one, i just used obj instead of 3ds. thx man\woman

 

[Kuritany]

Doesn't work...

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

I'm using WinXP SP 3 and Anim8or

It seems like *.3ds works fine but *.obj does not

*.obj -> *.mdx

*.3ds -> *.mdx

 

[Tilidion]

obj doesnt work unless its exported from milkshape I believe is what the help file says.
(Although I seem to get an error after using this tool when saving a converted file with war3 model editor. The way I fixed it was converting it to mdl and back again not in the model editor )

 

[Zigzagoon]

is there a program for converting .mdx to .obj?
can this do it?

 

[viktor1995]

Its crashed when i try convert ...

 

[Editor_Noob]

[uZuRu17]

When Im gona find a new warking 3DS Im gona post it , it seams the old 1 its not working for a long time

 

[SilverLeaf]

it doesnt work

 

[crueltyinc]

Blender, save to .obj, convert with this to .mdx, roflcopter at those who spend money. Also, I had problems using this to convert .3ds but not .obj, just sayin'.

 

[Bankde]

I've tried using it and.... Neither obj or 3ds work in this converting. Maybe it is different version (For me 3ds max 2009 but his is 8)

In obj > mdl : Can Convert but my model is changed into sth causing my WE crash.
In 3ds > mdl : Nothing happen in converting... Nothing at all.

I will not rate as my and his is different version.

 

[Statharas]

From blend to 3ds, from 3ds to mdx, and from mdx to .max.

I LOVE YOU DUDE!

 

[Morgul Lord]

Supposedly 3D Object Converter will do it, but I won't know until I transfer it to my other comp. Personally I'm not a modeler, just a spriter and coder. I've played around with GMax when I had SC2, but that was a couple of years ago. So I can't be mush more help than this.

If someone wants to beat me to the punch, Google it. It's been long enough since the thread was started for there to be more stuff out there.

 

[toanlove371]

Hey! I can't convert file, it debug by visual studio 2010

 

[toanlove371]

I have installed Visual Studio 2010, when I use 3ds\obj > mdx VS 2010 debug and I don't know how to fix this problem

Hast thou applied magic?

 

[RanchBurner]

Hey guys if anyone was still looking for a .mdx to .3ds converter, behold... http://warcraft3.filefront.com/file/MDX_to_3DS_Converter;3797

Already tried a few samples, works fine to me.

 

[Fang]

Yeah!

 

[sunshinex3]

Doesn't convert obj
further testing it doesn't work at all just crashes for 3ds

 

[Goombah]

2/5 because it's the only converter I know of. 3ds files worked on 2 out of 3 models which is great, 1 crash.
Textures needed to be vertically flipped but they work, also great.
Problem is they dont open in War3ModelEditor or work in WC3 without further processing so I'm having trouble thinking of who this tool will benefit. People who can't import OBJ or 3DS files to their program but can open half-broken MDX files? Not sure a program like that exists. I tried converting the mdx to mdl with another program but it wigged out and turned the 42kb mdx to a 1.2gb mdl. Tried MDX squisher, didn't crash but didn't fix. I can't speak on animations but I imagine they wouldn't work. It's clearly converting them to MDX but not in a way that WC3 etc can recognize.

It "works" for OBJ in WC3 and War3Editor but every model I try ends up with broken geometry like this

Can be fixed with some autofilling but it's tedious and doesn't apply to the texture so textures effectively don't work this way.
I'm no expert but the OBJ converter part isn't a viable option for me either. Good attempt and if improved can be extremely useful.
I use Blender so all non-wc3 tests were done in Blender.

1/5, the .MDX this tool spits out is terribly corrupted and if you try to export a geoset to merge it with another model, it will corrupt the model outright and delete all the bone data.
