Import Model of Lady Grey into 3ds max? [message #65227]

Hello,
I recently got Fable: TLC, and I want to get into modding. I am a fairly skilled 3d artist, and I use 3ds max 2010. I got a hold of the latest Fable Explorer and the Xporter plugin for 3ds Max. The only thing is now, I don't know how to export a combination of textures, mesh, and rigging for Lady Grey in Fable Explorer. Can someone give me a small tutorial on how to do this?
Thanks!

Open Fable Explorer, go to Graphics.big, find lady grey's model (easier with the search function in Shadownet FE), double click it and click 'Save Model LOD'.

I wouldn't think so, but you can go to textures.big in FE and save the texture as whatever you want... Now, I haven't worked with modelling as of yet, but from what I learned from others, you can apply the texture to the model in 3DS Max, as well as keep the animations for the model when editing it. Don't take my advice as fact, but let it guide you until you learn from a true source, like morerunes.

It usually does save the textures as well, yes

Thanks for the help, guys... it worked out just fine, and the textures came with it, like you said. It even exported with bones, although they could use a little work. Very Happy

Yeah, well if you are trying to make new animations, from what I've gathered while on this site, is that the game can't handle custom animations, but can configure (or was it combine?) bones to handle existing animations.

You can move the bones around all you want, the animations will push them back to where they started.

I think what you mean to say is that we can't make new animations because we don't have tools to make new animations.

I guess I was misunderstanding the many times you explained it. I honestly thought you guys meant that the game couldn't use new animations, but I must've missed the points made about the lack of utilities able to create animations. Thanks for the information, JohnDoe. Smile
