porting to .glm

[Specter153]

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to convert any of the following formats to .glm format:

.ska

.skb

.tik

.tan

.ftx

 

and if so how?

[Xycaleth]

If blender can open any of those files then you can use mrwonkos glm exporter

[Specter153]

blender cannot open those tried it, got anyother ideas?

[Kualan]

Blender won't be able to open them in its vanilla state - but have you looked to see if there are third-party plugins out there for Blender in those formats?

[Specter153]

yea havent found any and i tried porting them in quark but i kept getting error messages

Also, the thing is that the model is in multiple files (Example: model.ska, model.skb, model.tik, model.tan, model.ftx) and unless i am wrong, i would have to port all of these into one .glm file and i have no idea on how to do that

Noesis is your friend, Google it.

[Lancelot]

No googling necessary. Here it is.

Wont import those kind of files unless you know where to find the plugins

Update: it looks like i did manage to port it over  to a glm file but when i did i got a "No weight or bones pallet defined, weighting mesh to root" did I do something wrong?

I cannot help with blender weight because i using max, but you cannot simply convert a model into a format for another game and expect it automatically works. for works into JKA you need to rig the model to JKA skeleton.

Is there a good tutorial on here for this?

[Circa]

I don't know of any weighting tutorials for Blender. Most people use 3DS Max or Softimage Mod Tool for that.

[Psyk0Sith]

Try the help file, always works.

[Specter153]

what about animations for softimage and you cant modify the source code so these file types are compatable can you?

[eezstreet]

Noesis is a tool for converting from one file format to another. If these file formats are supported by it, you don't need Softimage to support them.

3ds Max has plug-ins and max scripts to import those file types you originally listed. Then you can export to GLM using @@Scooper's exporter or convert to GLM using the 3dsMax DOTXSI exporter & compile a GLM with Carcass 2.2
