Extracting Animations From .max
I got an alien model in .max format.It's animated,but all the animations are merged in one animation.I want to extract theese animations into different files and import them in milkshape to convert each animation to .mot file.How can I do that?
Re: Extracting Animations From .max
You have to load the MAX file into 3DS Max and export to KEY file using the plugins. MAX files are unreadable by anything other than 3DS Max.

Re: Extracting Animations From .max
oh,so where can I find theese plugins? and can milkshape import .key files? I couldn't see a .key import option in milkshape
Re: Extracting Animations From .max
You can use Equity. Build an actor from the nfo and key files the decompile the actor usng equity. Equity will save the .mot files then. The plugins for max are on RF's download page.

Re: Extracting Animations From .max
that's strange,when I put the plugins in the folder and started 3ds Max,a messgae showed up saying "plugin is not made for this version of the program" or something (I'm with 3ds Max 8 )
Re: Extracting Animations From .max
Do a form search. I think allanon or someone did an upgrade for max8.

Re: Extracting Animations From .max
The nfo Exporters. He made the exporters work for max 8. I think it was allanon but I'm not absoultly sure. Anyway someone did it.

Re: Extracting Animations From .max
Well I checked Allanon's posts and it was him but he did it for max 2008. It seems there are no exporters for max 8 or 9 as yet. You're out of luck I'm afraid.
