3ds - mdx/mdl converter

[Lewt]

Hey i have 3ds and would like to convert it to mdx or a mdl file.

The one in the tools section http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=62950

Always seems to give me an error :/

thx in advance!

just use blender and warcraft 3 model edit

3ds>(into blender)>to .md2>(into war3modeledit)>to mdx

you will need to change the anaimation names though

if that doesn't work than post your 3ds file here and i will convert it to mdx

 

[Lewt]

what should I convert the .3ds to it does not have .mdl or .mdx

Also I attached the models

 

[skrab]

Those models are too high poly for Warcraft 3 :/
but i converted them

 

[Lewt]

what does that mean :/ i cant use them ?

 

[skrab]

sure u can use them but they will make a huge lag ingame :

 

[Lewt]

Go get the Blizzard Art Tools (a plugin for 3ds max 4-5) and than just "file=>export=>Warcraft 3 Model*.mdx" done. The *.max file ist converted to *.mdx and all used *.tga textures to *.blp.
