Well after being so excited by the release of Republicola's exporter for 3dsmax, I was just giddy with anticipation over the awesome animations that could be done. So I waited and waited, and almost no one has showed any cool animations, and after talking with a few people, I see they are confused, so I decided I'd write a big old tutorial teaching everything from UVW unwrapping to animating to particle emmitters. It's still not done, but as the title says, I'm impatient, so I'm posting my tutorial for download, Also I'm uploading a copy of Republicola's new exporter (It's a new version, fixes lots of errors) and a copy of Yobgul's file converter with the dll's included. Skull is gonna be outt for a few days, so it isn't on the downlaod or tutorial section yet, but the tutorial can be downloaded here And the pack with the exporter and file converter is here sorry its a rar, im on 56k, and it compresses nicley, get winrar at rarlabs I will get the more user friendly versions up when skull returns, until then happy modelling |

You try to hard nicoli :D I think some of the problem is that its a lot of work to create a brand new unit, map it, skin it and then animate it. You could spend years just learning how to animate. Its a lot of work, and most people will start but never finish that process. |

True. I admit that I'm too lazy too learn. I mod (read: skin) this game for fun. If I don't wanna learn something new, I don't. |

I have got problems with exporting. I have got 3d studio 5. When I click on Cofigure Controllers or on Export As MDL it doesn't do anything. |
