FMP in 33rd post.
Screen shot in 35th post.

Hello everyone. I hope, some people who use 3ds Max are still here.

So, I made a really easy mod for Fable, but I stuck at export stage. When I load exported model in Fable Explorer, it shows no model at all, and when I try to import exported model back into 3ds Max, it crashes.

I use 3ds Max 2009. From tutorial videos I found around the internet, I noticed, that people used older version of Panda exporter. Maybe this is the problem?

Does someone have older version of Panda exporter and can you send it to me? I cannot find older Panda exporter anywhere.

Or maybe someone can export my model and texture into the right .x file and send it back to me? I've attached the model and the texture.

.ifl, just in case you need it for some reason. I'm new in 3d modelling, though I'm pretty sure .ifl is not necessary.

And sorry for the triple post, only one file per message for me. Hope i will not be killed for this.

I watched Crazybunny's tutorial... I've just cut half from the standard Jack of Blades mask, which already have all bones and stuff set. So I'm pretty sure I do not need to do something else. Am I wrong?

I would also ask around a 3ds max forum. I am one of the few people around here who does 3d stuff, and I only have Blender.

Maybe I should just download Blender and make it... No any tutorial for Blender though.
I visited your site, morerunes, wanted to contact you directly or find something useful, but I've noticed that you use only Blender.

Did you try my email? It's just morerunes@morerunes.com

If you did, it could have been grabbed by the spam filter, just let me know. I'm fairly decent with this stuff, but I haven't done much with it in a while. I can probably help you migrate the stuff over to Blender if you want. Although, I have only ever gotten rigged meshes working properly from blender once, so you may be in for a rough time getting it to work.

No, as far as I remember, I've decided not to trouble you...
You can grab all I have from first three posts. Meshes are not rigged, they are standard one from JoB mask, because all I've did is cut half from the JoB mask... If you can, you can try to do the same in Blender with my textures (30 seconds of work, even for a beginner like me)... or you can try to convert it all to Blender and upload it here. Or you can even try to export it yourself. Whatever you want. Anything will be appreciated.
To be fair, I just do not have enough disk space to install a Blender. Space Marine export tool for another version of 3ds Max doesn't want to work properly as well, and a lot of other stuff is for the institute. Otherwise I'd gladly install a Blender and tried it all myself. Though I will most likely delete a 3ds Max 2009 for a place for Blender, if I won't be able to make it work.

Yes, sure... I you can give it a try and export it, it would be just greatsome. But blend file is a good help as well.

Can you export it from 3ds max as an x file for me? I'm sure I can fix it after that.

Completely forgot to answer... so busy with exams session. I will upload it later today.

Edit: sorry, took my time. I hope, this is right file. I didn't export it, just found on my desktop. But I guess, it is the file I needed.

Exported with PandaDirectX.

For some reason the file is really small... I think, it have to be bigger. But if you will be able to fix it, I will be glad. Just for more information screenshot from 3ds Max.

I'm not quite sure what has happened here. I loaded the .x file, and applied the texture, and didn't edit it at all, and this is what I got:
wtf

Now, I made my own, and it is messed up. It's invisible from the front but visible from the top. I don't know what the problem is.

For everyone who was interested in this one: I gave up. Some weird glitch, I think, I really do not know what's wrong with the export. I tried both Blender and 3sa max. Thanks for everyone who helped. I do not need it that much, so I will go on with my other projects - Space Marine and unreal Tournament III.

Now that I know how to skinweight, I can delete everything except the mesh, and skinweight it for you.

Does the .x file above import correctly?

Nope. That's the broken exported one. The .max file from the first post is my last fully working stage. Try to export it yourself, please, because I cannot export and this is my main problem. I even didn't came to the point of fixing skinweights and stuff.

The .max file doesn't work in 3ds max 9, and I can't convert the .x file. It's certainly not worth it to continue with this. It's only a half mask. But it looked pretty cool. The easiest thing to do now would be to start all over.

I've already started in Blender and the result is the same: I can't export right. And I made that mask in 3ds max 9. so it just must open there.

Edit: just checked. 3ds max 2009. I opened the file. Try to download the textures as well. Though maybe it is better to give up.

He's talking about temporarily conserving the discussion as an educational piece. This thread now has a released mod, so it's in the released mod sections and needs to be cleaned up.

I have another idea though. We can split the thread, keep the mod here and toss the rest in discussion.

Wow. I used all the same, and even watched same tutorial... but how did you exported it then? My original post was about problems with exporting.

Though it is pretty much likely that you need to skinweight model manually anyway, even though it has no changes from original model... and maybe that's why I had broken file as a result of export.
