Weapon converting

[Wystan]

Sorry for making so many topics. But this thime is about weapon converting. My weapon looks fine in 3ds max and milkshape but when i export and look at it in md3view, texture coordinates gone. What to do.

Use blender 2.64 with MD3 exporter plug in and follow @@mrwonko tutorial. you need to export MD3 with blender and set manually in blender the relative path of the texture of each mesh.

 

you can download it by JKHUB

No way to do it in max? I have already done three weapons in max but this is the first one with such issue.

Here

You need to import model into blender, and

1 select a mesh in Object mode

2 go to "custom properties field"

3: add as Key "md3shader"

4 add as value the relative path of texture "example: models/weapons2/rifle/rifle_bar

5 do it FOR EACH MESH of your model, give manually to it his textures.

6: export as MD3 using the plugin savbe as rifle.MD3  (ever put .MD3 at the end of name)

Export

if you open now with MD3view, you can see your model textured and convert it to GLM of weapon

No, you cannot do it in max in max you can make the model itself, but for put textures on MD3, the best working way is doing that with blender 2.64 and the MD3 exporter and custom properties paramater. i got your same trouble 2 years ago.

Thanks.

So after you end to model and uvmapping the model, export in a 3DS or OBJ format and import it to blender, and apply MD3shader paramater on blender and export as MD3.

Hey can you please give me a link to the  tutorial, i can't find it.

I actually used GMax to texture the object. However I created a model in a different program, saved it as *.obj (I also made a YV layout in a different program after that). Then opened it in GMax, applied the textures and then turned it into md3. I also made a glm version, no problems seemed to appear.

I'm fairly positive that at least some versions of max can export MD3 just fine.

I'm using milkshape

 

Tell me please what button in blender assigns material? This blender is so complicated.
