I don't think that there is one for 7 but for 4 and 5 and gmax

The 3Ds max 4&5 version link

The Gmax one link

and improved version of the 3ds max version but it isn't tested link

i download GMax but when try to open max file it give me an error is there some way to open max files , and how i can render in Gmax

you cannot do either with gmax. you would have to recreate your models, or export them to, for instance, half-life smd format and reimport them into gmax (theres an smd importer on collective.valve-erc.com )

or u could simple export them as 3ds and import in gmax since that has a 3ds importer naturally....

ok 10x for the help i find a way to export with 3Ds max using a script but now i have another problem
When i try to export nfo file it generate only this :
NFO 2.0
Material List
Number of Materials = 0
Bone List
Number of Bones = 2
Bone: Bone01
Parent: -1
Bone: Bone02
Parent: 0
Node Transform Matrix List
Number of Nodes = 2
Mesh List
Number of meshes = 0

i try with tutorial "macing a simple cube genessis actor" but in my 3Ds max a dont find a way to do this "Now click on 'Sub-Object' 'Envelope' under the Physique modifier:
Click on a bone, a football surrounds the cube, this means the physique's influence includes all the vertices of the cube, which is why we made the bone big:" is somebody know how to make this in newer versions of 3Ds max...

I make a cube , next convert it to editable mesh,set a material , add two bones and conekt cube to them and then export , but there is something more to do did you know what

did u convert to editable mesh?

Joko · Post by **Joko** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:34 pm

yes

Sudi · Post by **Sudi** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:40 pm

and u applyed the skinmodifier?
and added all the bones to ur mesh and made the influence big enough?....it should work....oh btw i saw that u didn't apply any materials all....u have to apply at least a simple colour bc ActStudio wont compile the actor file otherwise maybe that is the reason since ur not using gmax

thats right, i forgot, the last time i used the 3ds format it carried over nothing but meshes, no textures, bones, nimation, etc., i guess they have changed the format.

I put a link to the max 6-7 exporter, it's called g3d11.dle
on http://terrymorgan.net/download.htm, is that the one you use?
