Question for modelling new objects and use them in QRadiant?

jimmyjbo · Post by **jimmyjbo** » Fri Jun 27, 2003 7:26 pm

Is it possible to design a static model(Crate or chair) in Gmax, skin it with its .tga--> assign materials, export it and see it in game and use it in QRadiant.

I mean to do it proper without have to modify another model of the game and use the new one on top of the old one files. Thats the way that people make guns, by changing the tiki,shader,pk3 ......and instead of m1-garand they have their new weapon. I'm not interested on that.

I try many tuts every day with no success. I have manage to see my models in game using the "pushmenu animate2"~~~ but all of them with no textures. I'm sure that i confuse the material names in the tiki and .tga and i can't get it to work.

Can someone help me please????

Thanks

I have seen you tutorial Yarik and it helped me a lot//thx. But still my problem is the skin-material of the model.

All the models have a shader,tiki file which they target the .tga file of the material you have paint in photoshop. Thats my problem. How you put a skin on your teapot, that can actually see it in game??????
Does milkshape convert it somehow??

Hello anyone here??

I have try so many ways of skinning a model, i know how to use materials, sub materials, uvw map, unwrap uvw and also a few different ways of assign a texture in a model, like using textporter, make the box .tga with all the parts of the model separate in it and all that.

WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS HOW TO CARRY THE TEXTURES FROM GMAX TO THE MILKSHAPE 3D AND AFTER EXPORT THE MODEL AND THE TEXTURES TO THE QRADIANT.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.....................
I know many around here have the answer, and i don't see the reason why nobody is giving it to me.

Thanks JimmyJBo

You can also make maps in Gmax (or prefabs), IF (and a very big IF) you know how to write a plugin in that will save the model as .MAP properties.

mohaa_rox is there a way to scale your models to much the dimensions of moh world?? You do that by importing MoH models in Milk shape 3d?/ or what????

Thanks
