Attachment points and particle emitters

[sp00f]

Hi! I'm using Gmax 1.2 and I have a few questions about these "atachment points" and "particle emitters". What's the difference between both of them and what are they useful for?

 

[General Frank]

Well, I'm not using GMax but I think I could explain it too.
Particle emitters emits effects like bubbles, stars etc.
Attachment points are use to attach stuff to the model using some WE tricks.

How to attach "atatchment points" to the bones, so when animating they will follow the bone? How about the partical emmiters?

Well first welcome to the hive... secondly no idea how to add attachment points to the bones (if it is what you do) but yes what you attach to the attachment points (head, chest, origin so on) will stay there on the model also when he moves, attacks or something.. same with particle emitters

Ok! Now the only question is how can i attach "attachment points" and "particle emitters" to the meshes(head,hands,legs and etc.)? That would be great is someone will answer on this question.
I already know how to attach meshes to the bones for the record.

You can add both things quite easily with magos model editor.

I prefer to stick with less programs as possible and that's Gmax for now. Still need help.

 

[RED BARON]

Well Magos is free and easy to use, and actualy a must have... So it better get it, then you would also find tutorials in how to add emitters....you can even animate a little in it and change bones, textures and so...

You can't add emitters or attachments in gmax.

Ye ok! Actually Mechanical Man is right. But then again, how do i add all these points and emitters in Magos Model Editor? Is there any tutorials, you could give a link to?

 

[Pyritie]

WILLTHEALMIGHTY has a good tutorial on emitters. I don't think there's one about adding attachments though.

 

[sp00f]

And where, this good tutorial, would be?

 

[Pyritie]

Why, it would be in the tutorial section, of course. A tutorial in the tutorial section... imagine that.

 

[RED BARON]

or just use help in magos there is a tutorial too...

 

[sp00f]

I guess it is in Tutorial section. Do you mind giving the link to me, or you have no idea where is it?

 

[Pyritie]

It's in General Tutorials. Can't you do anything by yourself?

 

[RED BARON]

What about the super secret Search Button?? And as told MAgos have a tutorial (and more then one) in it already..
