textures and importing models to studio max

Aerisweet · #1 08-23-2006, 04:08 AM

How would I import a model to studio max? A rock from POK or a tree from Mischief or anything? That's what I'm curious about, also I had a question about textures.

Where are the textures located for the birdbaths for augmentations? I know where the textures are and how to extract them and everything, I was just wondering if anyone has come across the birdbath textures.

ok I tried out those tools, they are great and have the potential to help me with what I need. I'm a little fuzzy on how to use them. Like for instance, I saved akanon.wld from EQinside to my HD. Then I opened Zone converter and tried each wld. One of them didn't load but the others that did, I couldn't export, window pops up saying "nothing to save".

In EQ Model Viewer, the s3d files read ok but the 3d view window doesn't show the model.

Unless I'm usin these programs wrong, they seem to be pretty straight forward though. I know I'm close. Thanks for the help so far, I'm just stuck on what I'm doing wrong...

It won't show every model for some reason, and others look wrong.

Here's what I do -

find butcher_obj.s3d and click on load S3D.
In model files pane, select bucher_obj.wld, then click on load model.

Below that many objects will be shown in a list. Pick one and click to view

2 export use either of these methods
(1) export at obj and then manually extract textures and import to max.
(2) export as .ms (maxscript) and extract textures via 'save s3d files' (look in the new folder it creates)

It's that simple

Ok I'll have to try that. Thank you for the detailed assistance. I have to work a lovely 11 hours tomorrow but I'll definately try this ASAP. Thanks again!

Ok i got models to load, still trying to figure out how to get indivual models to load. Right now I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with the textures and how to get them to load in studio max.

Thanks for the help so far man

in the maxscript the textures are specified there. If they don't load then manually add them in max after you've loaded the object in via .ms run maxscript.
see the link -

Not sure what you mean by individual models - see above picture - if you export the shown object then the .ms and the .dat and your textures (manually extracted) are placed in the same folder. I simply extract the entire zone's textures to a folder.

thanks for the help

I got it to work, I think the problem was I didn't have the scale on load box checked.

So I just newbed it and copied everythin ya had in the pic, sure enough it worked and that checkbox was the only thing I had wrong.

Now that it works I can load it into Studio max, you're right, pretty easily.

Thank you for the tremendous help. Much appreciated.

Glad it worked for you.
In the past I spent a long time in MAX and made many many 3D objects for a game I was working on. I made this 3D world editor - have a look
