.3ds -> .mdx

[MoonWolf]

Im asking this for 2 weeks already, how the hell do i change .3DS files to warcraft files ? (.MDX)

See if this helps you!

I tried that one long ago.

It says it can load .3DS but can't click it (its grey, like disabled icons)

If you have max (which you should have, since you have the Max file) then just go to file --> export --> mdx.

If you don't have max, I wonder how you came across that 3DS file.

 

[MoonWolf]

No such option.

Im using 3D Max 8 btw.

Oh, that's why.

I believe there is something called Dex script. Try this.

Thanks Chriz. ! it worked perfectly

Now if I may ask yet another question

I imported my new .mdx little weapon, quited the WE and turned it on again, and the model just dosn't show.

It's not the green with black spots box, just nothing lol you see (or don't see... its just a matter of prespective) air.

unless u have max 5, you won't be able to animate.

Did you import the texture?

 

[MoonWolf]

I didn't make any texture (I don't know how to make them... need to learn lol) but i thought it would come in this normal grey color and work fine.

Shouldn't it ?

Btw TheRandomDude I'm making items for attachments so no need animations.

 

[Pyritie]

No it won't. The colors in the max don't mean anything; they're just for reference purposes.

 

[MoonWolf]

I didn't mean the colors in 3D Max. I meant the grey color when you import the model into another file.

Well dosn't matter, is there any place that teaches how to make FULL skins and not only edit wc3 skins ?

You mean how to UV Map?
