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
