.max to sdk ready....how?

[SilintNinjya]

how do i convert something from a .max to being ready to be used in half life 2? also, can i have animations in it?

specifically, guns. the major problem is that our gun modeler doesnt have half life 2 cause his modeling pc doesnt have internet access. so do i need to pick up max so i can do convert?

i dont know how u get .max to .smd but once you find out how i suggest you download my hl2 compile toolkit from my post in this forum to do the rest.

i suspect there will be a plugin to do the conversion.

you might find it useful

ok for some reason "hl2 world.com" is being displayed as *******
is this some halflife2.net hate for hl2world?

Exporter also comes with the SDK. You could give it to him on a disk or something.

the expoter source comes with the SDK. You have to compile it for it to be useful.
