DH with Katanas

Here's my first model experience...
I changed his blades for two katanas. I'm still trying to make them look more like ninja-tos tho. Ninja-to is a bit shorter and is a straight blade.

You can still see his blades in the background a bit but that's part of his alternatex animation, which i won't be using so I don't really care :)

Great Work!!!:D :D :D
Hope you are gonna skin it asap!

heh point me to a uv mapping tutorial? :-/
also it won't be in-game before a max->mdx converter... is there one?

Also... do I need to attach the katanas to the main body?

KMK ones? no?

KMK's is a MDX importing script for 3dsmax but wont allow you to resave it into a mdx I don't think.. it only works one way

You are right, sorry :D

hmm i successfully got my skin into milkshape by exporting it from MAX as a .ASC then importing it into milkshape, then exporting it as a .obj and converting it into a .mdx..... but with all that manipulation it probably won't work :) gonna test it....

You can't add more vertices to the original models, they'll be messed up if you do.

You could tho, snap the DH's blade and give the katana as attachment.

yeah i learned the hard way that you can only move existing vertices around. tried to learn how to attach stuff like you said but didnt find any tuts or help. could you explain a bit?

Finish the Demon Hunter soon....i want to download it

Um if you look properly..KMK's script DOES let you export as MDX. After you run script there is the option EXPORT SELECTED AS MDX. It doesn't work on MAX 5 but on 4 it runs nice....sometimes.

Have fun.

yeah kitol in his latest version... however this post is very old :)

easy as attachments, go look me at the chat sometime =)

Looks hard to me. If it's easy, I want one! You plan on releasing this Z?
