Err who told you that you can make warcraft III models with 3ds max 9 ÜBER EPIC lied

 

[Avator]

If model making is possible with Autodesk software, I'm very curious how you're planning to make animations in it.

 

[jareph]

confused....

1st, i have really can do a model file with 3ds max >.<....
and got animation....
it look like the picture below....

so what should i use to modeling???

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

LOL sure it is possible to make models in 3Ds Max 2009....but it's rather difficult because 3Ds Max Version > 5 does not support the warcraft art tool....

Try this links:

Link 1. (Is meant to convert 3ds files to mdx
Link 2. (Converts mdl to mdx)
Link 3. (Dex exporter for gmax)
Link 4. (Import/export mdx)

And here you can download Milkshape 3D (trial). Milkshape is a 3D modeling tool which can also convert mdl, mdx and lots of other formats.
Link 5.

>.< also facing problem too...

the file format i save is only got 2 choice that is .max and .chr
there are no convertor convert .max file....
i try .3ds convertor but cant even browse the .max file =.=

and other model editor that other than milkshape??

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Please try the exporter.
Download it then save it somewhere and open 3ds max.
Then go to MaxScript and run script. Choose the exporter and see if your lucky^^
If it works... be happy if not... tell me

EDIT: I am not sure but try: File -> Export... (maybe that works)

 

[jareph]

and i try to export, it too nice, i found .3ds format...

[jareph]

[DarkAngelAzazel]

^^ didn't see that the converter does not need to be installed....

I realized that your file has no ending... (I renamed it to .3ds) and "WOW" the converter worked... ^^ here the mdx file is...

 

[jareph]

wow, thx...
it mean my computer really got problem =.='

lol, thx

 

[Need_O2]

Milkshape is easiest model editor for warcraft
you just need guessts mdx exporter
but its not a tool for pros more like newbs

 

[TheDivineBoss]

But if you want to save in Milkshape, it'll save as .m3ds files, so you'll have to export it.

I don't know which .dll file it is that you let it export into .mdx files so err..

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

To Jareph:

Is the model working?
I really want to know.

 

[jareph]

eerrr....
can't guarantee its work or not work...
1st) i'm wondering how convert with that convert and set the animation name...
i had use the script last time, i know it got a function to let me set the time lenght.

2nd) the model is a test model with some animation, but it din't show any model and animation is stand - (1.000)

mean that faild

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Nooo I just wanted to know whether the convert worked...

 

[jareph]

it success convert to mdx
but i'm not sure about will that mdx file work in war3 or not...

because my model file is not sure can work in war3

but i think that script will success to convert .max to .mdx
