What do you do with it, and how does it relate to F4 ?

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
you could build models and import them to LE.
hmm... second thought... don't think it's possible to do that with Gmax (import/Export).

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Sounds very promissing
This would also mean that
all mods that are made with this proggie
for other sims would be usable for Falcon4
Great

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Gmax is just "ripped" light version of 3ds max, right?
And LODEditor imports 3ds max files, right?

True on the first one.quote: Gmax is just "ripped" light version of 3ds max, right?

I don't think Gmax can be exported or saved as a 3DS file
But I'm not 100% on this.

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Nope, you can import 3ds, or dxf format np - works well, but export to p3d format only which dont work - tried it repeatedly - a plugin to go to a quake mdl format is available - but once again cant get it working 100%
Wont be around next week - but after that will give you an EASY way to create models and into LOD format using freeware tools..

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Gmax is a powerfull tool for 3d modelling, is a reduced version of 3D Studio MAX, but,of cource, it DOSEN'T export/save in 3ds. IF it can export in 3ds , why someone has to buy 3DSmax, instead of using a similar tool for free?

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Didn't I read somewhere on FW's or the FF forum that LODEditor can read P3D files?

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
LE can only import P3D files from Jane's USAF, the P3D format comes from Israeli software company Pixel - means you can import Jane's USAF models as raw lods.
the other P3D format comes from a university media lab, a totally different thing, it won't work with LE.
old story..

Re: Free 3d modeling tool: GMAX
Alright, i found the link - convert gmax model into 3ds format - is doable. then you can convert it into LOD format with LE.
