3ds Max info/help

If anyone needs it you can get it for free from autodesk if you're a student. It comes with a 3 year license and it is 100% legal and brand new! The only catch is you can't sell anything you produce in the program.. Which isn't a big deal for teams like us.

Also, I'm willing to make some small video tutorials on how to model some certain things in Max, just comment on something you would like a tutorial on and I'll do my best to make some videos this weekend.

here is the link where you can get maya, 3ds max and other various autodesk programs. (students only) Have fun!

Laugh out loud cool! I\'ll be expecting more from this... as i have 2011 already.

I too will be making Blender Tutorials Detailed and easy to follow, be prepared to grab a book and pen.. (Or pencil).

i want a conversion tutorial
from .3ds (or any other 3ds max export) to mdl
i also wanna know how to export 3ds max animations and textures
to mdl

I don't think that is possible. I think you have to download blender and the exporter to export mdl

ahh crap, I didn't see people were posting in this, sorry guys

anyways, there is a nifty little program called 'Quick 3D' http://www.quick3d.org/ that'll do that for you. The shareware version is fine. It might export the animations, I'm not too sure about that, but if you only have ONE unwrap for the whole model, It will export that too. Otherwise everything will be jumbled.

(you may have to invert your faces before exporting to 3ds, I don't know why)

I might learn the basics of blender if you give it a go, but I prefer the format of 3ds max (just my opinion)
