.gmax converter

[Computer5k]

Im's looking for a file converter or a combination of converters that can chang a .gmax or .p3d file to any of these types .3ds .lwo .obj

doubt you'll find one. Discreet is a bitch, and forces developers to pay a large lump of money to intergrate gmax support into games... so you won;t find too much of it.

hehe, theyre not a bitch. thats the whole point of the GMax product. i doubt youll find a plugin to export it to .3ds, as if there is one, its kinda illegal. GMax is supposed to be a test of Max, that is still useful when it comes to certain games ( the companys which pay the money to have plugins made for their games )

however, there is a way to do it. i think you might lose youre smoothing groups mind you. anyways, you have to export the model as an .md3 ( quake format ) for which there is a, official plugin. then import it into milkshape and then export as .3ds. it takes a while, but hey, the model is ported.

well, i'm not gonna on too long here (I could write a whole eiditorial about this)


but they are being bitches, 90% of the people who use gmax (as well as say 80% of the people who warez Max) aren't the people they're trying to sell thier product to. If these people didn't warez it or use gmax, they wouldn't be using it at all. So Discreet isn't losing thousands and thousands of customers from this... in fact they might be gaining customers later on in life, so you could say it's a good thing.

But regardless, it's still illegal. That's not gonna change.

ok, that was a mini-blurg thatreally didn't address anything.
