Hello

Recently I got bored with simple definition editing and started to jump on to the field of graphic editing.

I got the 3ds max 8 and ripped a master chief model from halo 2 for vista

index.php?t=getfile&id=6571&private=0

and...

uhh

..............

I really don't know what to do from here.
I searched for threads on armor modding and found this thread.

http://fabletlcmod.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=36409& amp; amp;&srch=3ds+max+armor#msg_36409

and people here seemed to know what they were talking about, however, there weren't much information mentioned since Salamandr0 had a good understanding that no one needed to mention the details.

and I was discouraged furthermore when i saw this

Making clothing work in Fable requires an advanced understanding of modeling. And even then you have to fiddle with it until you can force it to work.

It's not for the weak of heart. And there is no easy tutorial.



Whew....

But you know, I'm a guy who loves a challange and have all the time in the world I need

So, here's what I have figured out so far.

1. I'll need to tear apart the master chief model into shirt, helmet, trousers, boots and gloves

2. I'll have to purchase a program that will convert the 3ds max save file format into whatever Fable TLC accepts

3. I fidget around with the fable explorer later to tidy up

Well, It'd take some time for me to get to part 2 since i don't have enough money to buy the software, so I need to work on part one.
So would anyone kindly post me some answers walking me through this 3ds max utility or a link that will lead me to the right track?

thank you
