MDX/MDL to MD2

[SVT2002]

Hello!

Is there any MDX/MDL to Quake MD2 converter program, code? That's also good, to import the mdx to a modeller, and export then to md2, but animations are important. I know, that MD2 isn't a bone animated format.

Thanks

Is there any real reason to do this? the size of the models will be huge.
I know Milkshape can export to MDX or WC3's MDL (don't remember which), but if it can import too, then you can probably continue and save as MD2 there.

I've tried this. Milkshape cannot import bones and animations.

How would you handle materials? particle emitters? etc.

And again, you will have issues with frames.
"a classic md2 file is composed of 199 frames distributed in 21 animations"
"Maximum number of frames: 512"
WC3 models can easily have thousands of frames.

MDX is good why you need it to convert to MD2?

I suppose 3D Object Converter is not any better ?

Is that really important for us to know ?

Support for MDX in that program seems to be very poor.
It shouldn't be hard to write a converter, but I just don't see how the formats have any compatibility between them in the first place.

Yeah, quantity over quality I guess...

Tried to find a plugin for Noesis, alas no luck.

if you can find an MD2 library in python, I can send you an MDX lib in python that i generated using my new tool.

Thanks, but I think, GhostWolf has right.

Thanks for all answers, but I finished what I wanted to do, it's not important anymore.
