Need Particel-Animations

[Gurftbestie!]

Hi, i'm working on a Star Trek Project (see Signatur) and made some new, realy great, models for it. The Problem is, i have 3dsMax 7, so i can't use the ArtTools and must export the models with the Dev-Script. And this script doesn't realy support animations.

So i want to ask, if someone, with an older 3dsmax Version and the Art-Tools, can animate this models. It should'nt be complicatet animations. The models should simply disappear in a particel explosion.

You do not need art tools to make that. You can do this also in magos editor.

How? the editor from magos can only import md2 and ms3d. Both formats i cant export in max... :/

You export your max file to .3ds, import it into Milkshape and then Animate/Export from there.

Okay..... thanks, i try it... ^^

Okay, it doesnt work. I think the problem ist, the particelemitter must be a such called "BlizPart". The Problem is, 3dsMax 7 has no ParticleEmitter called BlizPart. And other emitters doesnt work.

MAKE EMITTERS in magos' model editor, called war3modeleditor. It is standalone program which can create particles for wc3 models. Do it after exporting to .mdx, using guesst exporter from www.wc3campaigns.net.

HappyTauren, fix the link, or even better link to the thread you can download exporter.

There is a Dex exporter which works for gmax, I think it works also with higher versions of max.

I'm still using this script. And this is the problems, it doesnt support particels and the animations of the exported model are horriable. @

@ HappyTaurens:
I didnt found any way to make particles with war3modeleditor......
And i didnt found guess exporter too..... can give me the correct link to it?

I know it does not support particels, so I told you to use magos editor. There is a tutorial how to make them in the help file.

 

[HappyTauren]

search for WILLTHEALLMIGHTY's tutorial on particle emitters, or simply look in tutorial section regarding modeling tutorials.

 

[Gurftbestie!]

I know how i make Emitters, its just the Problem that 3dsMax 7 without the Arttools didn't have this kind of Emitter (BlizPart) which is supported to export to .mdl ....

 

[Mechanical Man]

Make them in mdl (or magos editor), not in 3dsmax for god's sake!
