Nick M48 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 EDIT to above post: I've just remembered that you don't need to detach the faces you can use the auto smoothing option from within the 'Edit Mesh' menu, that will only smooth the faces that you have selected.

Nick M48 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i got a problem i cant get driver and steer in the car. I tryd many different names etc. any help much apreciated By far the easiest way is to import the dummies from an existing car otherwise it can be very difficult to get the scale and orientation right, I've attached a max file with just the dummies in, merge it into your car scene then move the dummies to where you want them.

Nick M48 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 What are you using to export the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcbanger Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 hello I have been testing also with 3dmax v8 to export to 3ds file and with the 3ds2mod prog it only works without the torso and steer. I exported an car in 3dmax to 3ds with wheel steer3.mod and Waist Dtorso.mod When i import it back the names ar changed to wheel stee and Waist dtor (just for check up!) It seems that the objectname for 3ds may not be longer then 10 characters. the only way i know is to export it to file .mod is with zmodeler v1 and 3dmax v3. strange but true i think greetz Marsman208 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazza Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 yeah you're right mate 3ds2mod only appears to convert 1 damage layer (or certainly if you're using 3dsmax7 or above) I found 3dsmax3 here (it will expire after 30days) I spent ages looking for this and its only a trial, but it should cure the converting 3ds to Mod problems! Extract it using the folder names, to C:\3DSMAX3 Then run 3dsmax.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod331 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 when u export as a .mod make sure your tga is called the chassis name followed by a1.tga as in van1.tga chassis would then be van it should then work if u convert a tga to carxxx.tga hope this helps!

Haadee#525 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 got a question from other car pacecar0 : 777 1 : 3347 2 : 3347 3 : 3347 4 : 1184 5 : 465 6 : 49 that are my pacecars poly rate shouldnt that work in heat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg126 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) Are you sure what type of car the other one was..as the poly counts dont look right...was it a banger or a non damaging car for another mod. The figures seem more appropriate for a low res car which is not used in bangers. If the car does contain damage then its not a very high res model to peak out at 3347 for pacecars 1,2 and 3. Those sort of figures can be easily obtained with squarish models. What is going on with pacecar 4 and 5 ???? ..normal practise would be to include damage and figure of 1184 containing damage is reasonable..though highish for a model starting out on 3347 polys.If its an undamaged model then that figure is poor. Pacecar 5 is normally a copy of pacecar 4 and again normally contains damage...though at 465 polys its not likely to. Remapping all damage seperately for 4 and 5 would be time consuming. Pacecar 6 is the very long range insect/blob version ..you wont see much of this anyway..but is lower in polys than we often use in bangers. Most of the poly limits were set back in the old pre broadband days taking into account poorer quality graphics cards and computers and though keeping polys low is a good thing it shouldnt be at a great reduction in quality. Can see no reason for the poly level on the car not working in game. Error may be in exporting...try using max 3 for exporting the files with the mod exporter .
