ok i made a model. and i exported it to 3ds so i can import to gmax.
i did that and than i had some problems with the model. ok first problem. some objects were messed up. 2nd, all the objects were changed to editable mesh, i dont want that. and last, i couldnt smoothen them. i used the smooth tool but it looked like everthing wasnt smooth. 
can someone help me out?
please i need some help.

1. Exporting to .3ds from 3dsmax is screwed up, you have to export to a format like .dxf and than use something else to convert that to .3ds (That's what I do, I export to .dxf, and use a small DOS command line program to convert to .3ds, than it opens perfectly (Except I think it reverts object names back to defaults.). If you want I can send you the converter that I use.
2. Smooth tool works correctly, It's just that you don't know how to use it. If you want it flat shaded (Which is should be if you want to render it to show off, since it shows the detail and not that lame and mostly incorrect shading.), just select your object and click on the Smooth tool. If you want it to smooth the object, select the object and click on the Smooth tool and select a Smoothing Group, just click the "1" button and it will give it that shading. (Oh, did I mention that flat shaded is better?)

Sir Pheonixx i have a problem. ok i made .uvw files for each object. and skinned the model in 3ds max, after i sed the tool to export to .3ds and imported into gmax, the objects nolonger had the Unwrap thing so i made one and loaded the .uvw file but it didnt work. it stayed the same.
EDIT: I want to put this in gmax so i can put it in renegade. but the UVW unwrap messed up. its like there was no changes in the .uvw file and that i never made it a flatten thing... sorry im not good at explaining.
|
Exporting doesn't keep the smoothing, it reverts it back to the default (smooth).
Just model it in 3dsmax and do the uvw/skinning/boning/whatever in gmax.

just to clraify, Smooth is different for Mesh Smooth
this just might be my defaults or somthin
Mesh Smooth- makes all of the surfaces nice and round, so its "smooth"
Smooth- shows all the polys, flat and rigged
again this might just be me or somthin

Mesh Smooth and Smooth are two completely different things. Mesh Smooth makes an object more rounded. Smooth doesn't do anything more than change how the object is rendered. Without any Smoothing Groups selected it renders the object flat shaded.

Um, could you repeat that, in English?
