how fo i get a model into gmax so i can edit it?

I think you'd convert a existing model to a supported model format for gmax and then work on it.

 

[†-DivineAngelOfSorrow-†]

and how wud i do that?

 

[Sopho]

I can't really help you alot but,
Gmax doesn't support .mdx files for straight forward modelling right?
So you'd have to convert the .mdx to a supported model format with a converter or something to .3ds or .obj? (are those supported?) I'm not sure on this one but I think so.

sed ur search didnt find any matches

 

[Sopho]

my fault, srry. Corrected mistake.

 

[†-DivineAngelOfSorrow-†]

oooooook i downloaded it but for some reason it crashes when i try to convert it

 

[Sopho]

Make sure all the files in the zip for the converter are extracted and placed in a different folder than wc3. Make sure no programs are using the model somehow. Make sure programs related to wc3 are closed.

That program isn't really complete. It would be better if you used KMK's Importer/Exporter Script. You can find it on Wc3Campaigns.com with a search.

EDIT: The Importer/Exporter script imports without skins or animations, so you have to be careful to not delete vertices.

[oz02]

What can't you get to? Wc3campaigns?

 

[†-DivineAngelOfSorrow-†]

You have to right click the link and click Save Target As.

LOL I was thinking about editing a few mod my self but after reading this forum i think it mite be more truble than its worth. is milkshape a gud model editer :?: :?: :?:

u like stargate? stargates crap star treck much betta

Milkshape should be pretty good, but its shareware so you have to pay for it. I use gmax, made by the people who made 3ds max. It's basically a stripped down version of 3ds max. You cna get it at www.discreet.com.
