I compiled the MD3 v2.2 exporter for 3ds Max 2018. @@Rooxon is beta testing it for me. It should be submitted for release this Friday.

Can you incorporate a basic OpenGL sphere primitive?

@@SomaZ - fair enough... normal wrinkle maps (Oat's implementation) should go hand-in-hand with the standard normal map stage (...as it's just additive blending with the base normal map based on the current facial expression).

That's fine.

great work! The index finger looks broken at base knuckle.

Use a model for the Outrider exterior... and model the interior in 3D app and clip it out in Radiant... wouldn't that allow for a more realistic, faithful replication? Here's the Outrider: http://www.scifi3d.com/details.asp?intGenreID=10&intCatID=31&key=249

@@SomaZ - that's quite an impressive list of accomplishments... and planned work. Any chance of adding Real-Time Wrinkle (Normal) Maps and Sub-Surface Scattering (SSS) to your WIP/ToDo List? Wrinkles: http://chrisoat.com/publications.html SSS: https://www.blendernation.com/2012/02/07/non-blender-open-source-real-time-sss-shader/ Wrinkles are higher priority for me... as I want that for my FACS-based (FACS= Facial Action Coding System) facial rig and new facial.gla. I will do what I can to help...

Sounds like he wants a wireframe sphere (similar to 3ds Max)... given a position and radius. There should be basic "draw sphere" functionality in openGL or DirectX-- whatever Radiant uses. @@Xycaleth, @@ensiform ?

it could be that if the hero characters suffer too much damage, the mission fails... so the player has to help protect/cover them...

Even cooler... steal/snatch (force grab) the in-air saber (if you're a single saber user) and then become a dual wielder?!

meh, i think it can look and play better in JKE/EDP with better squad AI and GL2 with PBR level design & models.

@@eezstreet- but it also has lots of improvements. Maybe there needs to be a cleaner, uncrufty version? @@UniqueOne

Should everyone be using @@UniqueOne's improved 64bit q3map2?

your solution is confusing... would you please clarify?

I think a multiple gradient-ramp from cuticle to nail would look nice... to blend in with his pink nail polish.

I think @@UniqueOne has compiled a 64-bit version of q3map2 with many advancements.

...who knew Kyle wore pink fingernail polish under his gloves!? Looks good though... does the camera shift to be over left shoulder when throwing a left punch?

in my opinion we should see more of his thumb and the web between the thumb and trigger finger on the pistol grip in the view model similar to this: Here's a better shot from CoD:

...or better/higher quality view models and proper animations

reload animation?

I will try to pencil out the needed fixes using a simple 4 triangle plane mesh while I'm away on my wife's birthday cruise vacation.

I still have a lot of work to do to sort out fixing the vertex normals and UVs and getting the changes in vertex positions during an animation. Currently it is only exporting a static object.

@@ChalklYne -- No need to reinstall XSI ModTool. It will be compiled as a plugin for Softimage 2011, 2012, and 2015 (at least). Meshes do not have to be merged as one. You can have up to 32 different surfaces (i.e., mesh objects) in an MD3. Only one texture per mesh object. For multiple textures, on a single mesh object, you'll have to split mesh to abide by the one-per-mesh rule. LODs are exported automatically to separate LOD files. You simply append "_1" or "_2" to the names of the respective LOD objects. So all meshes (and LOD meshes) can be in a single scene. LODs will definitely help your performance. The MD3 format supports 3 levels of detail (LOD0, LOD1, LOD2... although MD3View shows them as 1,2,3). Tags are supported. All you have to do is name the tag object the full tag name (e.g. tag_driver, tag_flash, etc.) @@minilogoguy18 has created a script to create a tag.

think they will kill off Kanan and Ezra?

Maybe Luke is just chafing from the old Jedi Order vow of chastity... and he has a lot of "pent-up" frustration!? And he's ready to go find Lando and hit the bars/cantinas...
