Gmax...

[ChaosRyder]

Could you model for HL2 in gmax??

I absolutelly hate the way XSI is set up... HATE IT!!!

And I do not have the time to get used to it... Anyone know if you can???

You need the tempest game pak for gmax so you can export md2 files, then convert it from a md2 to something XSI can import, like 3ds. But XSI might be able to import md2, havent chacked

It's going to be harder to model things in Gmax as opposed to 3DS max, but it is still better than XSI in my opinion. Now about it importing and stuff like that, search up on what you can find, plugins of any sort would be good and if you can hit .SMD on the spot even better.

Well, there has been an importer for a decade now...(a 'lil exageuration)

Too bad they never made an exporter...

........
.md2??? I have only heard of .md3 files.

Tempest is the Quake 3 Arena gamepack, it exports to .md3, Quake 3's model file format (and .map).

.md2 is the Quake 2 model file format.

 

[Computer5k]

same difference

Well, maybe this won't be helpfull at all.
But a lot of people say you have to get used to XSI, but after you do, you don't want to go back. So just try XSI for a while longer.
