yes it requires model editing
follow arcuive's tutorial at www.wc3campaigns.com :)

but..Ive heard the program: 3dmax or something cost 4000 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but also it was some way to get around this?
and if this is the case i will have some neat stuff coming up...
but also what are the difference between gmax and 3dmax?

download it off of Kazaa or something

yeah it will only take about 350 hours :D

I don't know how it works there, but here in Malaysia
ORIGINAL 3DStudio MAX is 1400 bucks.
but i can get pirated versions (ppl sell it everywhere), cause piracy is not strict here, for 10 bucks. 10 RINGGIT which is not even 5 US Dollars. Cool huh. But i'm also using Broadband so i can d/l it off KAzaa.

$1400?! It's $4000 in US dollars. @_@

the strap looks good, but you should change the shoulder pads to match the leather straps.


The weapon isn't a naginata...Those are pretty much spears with footlong blades on the end. Just do a search on some engine for Japanese Weapons, you'll find lots.

uhm naginata is a polearm not a spear.
It can reach 10 feet long and has a curved blade at the end.

Yes, it is a Naginata. A spear is a Yari. A suggestion for making it look longer: move the square guard thing up to the end up the blade. That way it will look less like a sword with the bttom half covered and more like a staff weapon.

or i can just remove it (the square guard) and skin a metal connection at the end.
btw im down at 29 hours now at Grokster (instead of Kazaa).

or you can beg me to edit the model

Dude... 1400 Ringgit. RM1400.
Multiply by 3.5 to get the US rate.
So it works out about the same.

No thanks i rather try to figure it out myself :ggani:
i really like to do my own stuff.
But i can change my mind if it seems hopeless...
i got the 3dsmax now... Do need i need the character studio 3.1.
By the name its looks like it

hmm doesnt seem to work..i get an error during installation
guess i have to try Gmax instead

i have the KMK Maxscript importer (thats right couldnt find the importer/exporter) and i have Gmax but i cant import my .mdx
even though i have selected the MDX import in utilities...
why cant i import?

The importer/exporter link is posted on the 2nd or 3rd page of his thread.

As for GMax, it doesn't work very good with his script... you should really get 3dsmax. Just look with Kazaa Light tons of people have it, even if a user leaves it'll resume with another user who has it. Leave it all night and you should have 3dsmax 4.2 :)

I can also send it to you on IRC if you dont mind staying all night
