darknesz@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 1:41 pm : Hello !!
i have a prob.
I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,
every time the game kicks me to the desktop with an error...
i have maya 8 and max 8 but i dont want use both to get my model in to quake4!!
is the a exporter that i can use??
why it does not give an md5 exporter for maya but an md5 importer ??
and i have two questions:
-if i have a *.ase how i get it in to the d3 engine? just simple as the *.ma/*.mb files ??
-have quake4 1.3 and prey 1.2 the same version of *.md5 fiels (Version 10)
ohh sry for my baaad english
elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map
darknesz@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 5:08 pm : and what ist with the bones? i have a little model exported ab ist looks so in q4:

but in a model view it is right:
an the error i get wenn i try to export maya files in the md5 format:
dirk@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 5:47 pm : hey girl
is your import dll running without the reg entrie?
with max should it very easy to export. ase and lwos goes on the fly.
but i have some probs. too
1. i cant understand why the export function in the console sometimes doesnt work
2 .
3.
4.
5.

how do i get the reg entry right? or you mean the
system environment variable for maya ?
dirk@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:10 pm : cmd exportmodels?!?
dirk@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 10:16 pm : maybe you can help me, i wanna convert a ma to md5 i set a right def file, the export is running without error, but no mesh info are converted.
thx for help

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.
ascottk@Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 12:24 am : Try this thread & find someone who can make a Maya 8 compatible MayaImportx86.dll from the SDK.

mmh did you get the md5 file after exportmodel? are the Bones right configerd? test the model (if you get one) in a
modelviewer
dirk@Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 2:39 pm : i get a md5 md5anim, but without a mesh, and the joint(s) are still default in all vectors valued by zero ?!?
dirk@Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 8:00 pm : 
great it works
darknesz@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 7:40 pm : how do you have it get?
every time i try to export the model i get the f***ing error
and i dont understand why?

The bones for the model i extracted are vrome the corpes model
can someone export a md5 file from my ma file???
dirk@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:28 pm : i changed the mayaimportx86.dll from 4.5 to 6.0
here is your def file with some changes
export model2

...
and if u work with maya 8, i havent try this but try to change the entries in the file to maya 6 (texteditor), i dont know if this works. its alittle hack in maya to get files from a newer maya version to run.
dirk@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 9:08 pm : here it is, its amodel from me but you can play around with it
i would share it with u
take it, its for free, its a little present from me lol
[EDIT]Don't copy paste thousands of lines of code!. Just upload the file somewhere and link to that. kat

-can you upload the md5 file and the def file on rapidshare or something?
-is this model for d3 or q4??
-did you have it exported in d3 ?
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:10 pm : 
the vectors should be complete - to round off, check page #2.
on which mod did you work on?
darknesz@Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 7:51 pm : i dont work on a mod...
its just freelance work,
if i finish the model , i want make real model with bump and so.
but
i dont get the model in q4...
on the weekend i want install d3...
dirk@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:01 am : dont worry! heads up!
use for staticmodels ase or lwos. and for dynamicobj md5.
did you know blender?
maybe its not so bad to take a look on it
http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html
darknesz@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:16 am : yeah i know blender but i wont model with it,
for export to md5 its an idea , for export i can use 3d MAX too.
tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga
bumpMap addnormals ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga, heightmap ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_h.tga, 4 ) )
specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : 
you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.

i have a prob.
I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,
every time the game kicks me to the desktop with an error...
i have maya 8 and max 8 but i dont want use both to get my model in to quake4!!
is the a exporter that i can use??
why it does not give an md5 exporter for maya but an md5 importer ??
and i have two questions:
-if i have a *.ase how i get it in to the d3 engine? just simple as the *.ma/*.mb files ??
-have quake4 1.3 and prey 1.2 the same version of *.md5 fiels (Version 10)
ohh sry for my baaad english
elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

-is this model for d3 or q4??
-did you have it exported in d3 ?

its just freelance work,
if i finish the model , i want make real model with bump and so.
but
i dont get the model in q4...
on the weekend i want install d3...
dirk@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:01 am : dont worry! heads up!
use for staticmodels ase or lwos. and for dynamicobj md5.
did you know blender?
maybe its not so bad to take a look on it
http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html
darknesz@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:16 am : yeah i know blender but i wont model with it,
for export to md5 its an idea , for export i can use 3d MAX too.
tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga
bumpMap addnormals ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga, heightmap ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_h.tga, 4 ) )
specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

darknesz@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 5:23 pm : hey TTK-Bandit
jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : 
you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

try this:
mesh D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.ma -dest D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2.md5mesh
it could be that the path is wrong ,use the absolute path (C:/games/quake4/q4base/...) and spaces dont work (quake 4 [wrong] try this --> quake4 [right])

i have a prob.
I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,
every time the game kicks me to the desktop with an error...
i have maya 8 and max 8 but i dont want use both to get my model in to quake4!!
is the a exporter that i can use??
why it does not give an md5 exporter for maya but an md5 importer ??
and i have two questions:
-if i have a *.ase how i get it in to the d3 engine? just simple as the *.ma/*.mb files ??
-have quake4 1.3 and prey 1.2 the same version of *.md5 fiels (Version 10)
ohh sry for my baaad english
elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga
bumpMap addnormals ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga, heightmap ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_h.tga, 4 ) )
specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

try this:
mesh D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.ma -dest D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2.md5mesh
it could be that the path is wrong ,use the absolute path (C:/games/quake4/q4base/...) and spaces dont work (quake 4 [wrong] try this --> quake4 [right])

Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

is your import dll running without the reg entrie?
with max should it very easy to export. ase and lwos goes on the fly.

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,

elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

i have a prob.
I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,
every time the game kicks me to the desktop with an error...
i have maya 8 and max 8 but i dont want use both to get my model in to quake4!!
is the a exporter that i can use??
why it does not give an md5 exporter for maya but an md5 importer ??
and i have two questions:
-if i have a *.ase how i get it in to the d3 engine? just simple as the *.ma/*.mb files ??
-have quake4 1.3 and prey 1.2 the same version of *.md5 fiels (Version 10)
ohh sry for my baaad english
elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

i have a prob.
I cant Export my model form maya to the d3 engine games,
every time the game kicks me to the desktop with an error...
i have maya 8 and max 8 but i dont want use both to get my model in to quake4!!
is the a exporter that i can use??
why it does not give an md5 exporter for maya but an md5 importer ??
and i have two questions:
-if i have a *.ase how i get it in to the d3 engine? just simple as the *.ma/*.mb files ??
-have quake4 1.3 and prey 1.2 the same version of *.md5 fiels (Version 10)

elusive@Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2006 3:20 pm : For exporting models from Maya to D3 engine games you need the right MayaImportX86.dll which is only available für Maya 4.5/5/6/6.5 and 7 as far as I know.
Bringing *.ase into D3 engine based games is not that hard. These files are stored in base/models/ usually. By opening the ase file in a texteditor (eg. notepad) you find a line that says "BITMAP" "". Enter your texture shader here. These shaders are included in *.mtr files ( base/materials/ ).
A shader for example can look like that:
textures/mytextures/texture1
{
diffusemap textures/mytextures/texture1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/mytextures/texture1_local.tga
specularmap textures/mytextures/texture1_s.tga
}
In the *.ase it will look like this:
"BITMAP" "textures/mytextures/texture1"
Save the ase file and try it loading in a map

Try using Max on the same character to see if that exports a fully working MD5 to D3, if it does then you know there is something wrong with the way you're doing the export from Maya.
If it doesn't then it means there's something wrong with the MD5 that needs fixing regardless as to which 3D app you use to export the model.

dirk@Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 2:39 pm : i get a md5 md5anim, but without a mesh, and the joint(s) are still default in all vectors valued by zero ?!?
dirk@Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 8:00 pm : great it works
darknesz@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 7:40 pm : how do you have it get?
every time i try to export the model i get the f***ing error
and i dont understand why?
my def file :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export model2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bones for the model i extracted are vrome the corpes model
can someone export a md5 file from my ma file???
dirk@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:28 pm : i changed the mayaimportx86.dll from 4.5 to 6.0
here is your def file with some changes
export model2
{
mesh D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.ma -dest D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2.md5mesh
anim D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.ma -dest D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2.md5anim
}
model model2
{
mesh D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.md5mesh
anim D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.md5anim
}
...
and if u work with maya 8, i havent try this but try to change the entries in the file to maya 6 (texteditor), i dont know if this works. its alittle hack in maya to get files from a newer maya version to run.
dirk@Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 9:08 pm : here it is, its amodel from me but you can play around with it
i would share it with u
take it, its for free, its a little present from me lol
[EDIT]Don't copy paste thousands of lines of code!. Just upload the file somewhere and link to that. kat

Man! I would remove this, and change your posts to a link to the model file itself... No need to spam pages full with the contents of a model file.
darknesz@Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 2:40 pm : very thx for the model file but its not complet ,in the middle part is a bite lost

-can you upload the md5 file and the def file on rapidshare or something?
-is this model for d3 or q4??
-did you have it exported in d3 ?
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:10 pm : the vectors should be complete - to round off, check page #2.
on which mod did you work on?
darknesz@Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 7:51 pm : i dont work on a mod...
its just freelance work,
if i finish the model , i want make real model with bump and so.
but
i dont get the model in q4...
on the weekend i want install d3...
dirk@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:01 am : dont worry! heads up!
use for staticmodels ase or lwos. and for dynamicobj md5.
did you know blender?
maybe its not so bad to take a look on it
http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html
darknesz@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:16 am : yeah i know blender but i wont model with it,
for export to md5 its an idea , for export i can use 3d MAX too.
tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga
bumpMap addnormals ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga, heightmap ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_h.tga, 4 ) )
specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : 
you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

try this:

it could be that the path is wrong ,use the absolute path (C:/games/quake4/q4base/...) and spaces dont work (quake 4 [wrong] try this --> quake4 [right])

Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox

I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

i know it isnt very nice, but the reason of this model is only to testing the model-export-way for quake.

the next model will be much better

I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga

specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.

everybody please check my model!!!

the last job with this model is adding some bump und spectral textures...
the next model will be much better

tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.

tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

jeah i know this tutorial, but it is only for blender... but i need is maya..
now i get ase files out of maya
-how i get the ase in quake/doom/prey or what ever ? do i change ma/mb to ase in the def file and than exportmodel??
-can it be that some dlls on my pc be missing??(because the Error i get ever time?) or knows someone about the error message?
-and what is with the MayaImportx86.dll how i get it working for maya 8.
TTK-Bandit@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:20 pm : ase files are only working statically in d3/q4
can you send me the files you use (also .def files), then I'll try it here too.
I tried to create my own .def file, but must have missed something, it always said it couldnt find the source file.
dirk@Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 11:23 pm : you can import your ase directly in the editor.
right click (viewport) -> new model (?) or empty obj i dont know how it calls in doom3 -> attribute editor ? new model -> refresh this dir tree -> import your model
i think, or i havent seen a way around, you have to use the model directory. like //base/models/...
and to your models i dont get it running 1:1 on my maya (i use maya 4)
maybe its better to align your model to the Z xs, but i dont know how its handled in doom3. but Z+ or Z- should have no influence.
is it revered when im thinkin

try this:
mesh D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2/model2.ma -dest D:/Games/Quake4/q4base/models/characters/player/model2.md5mesh
it could be that the path is wrong ,use the absolute path (C:/games/quake4/q4base/...) and spaces dont work (quake 4 [wrong] try this --> quake4 [right])

darknesz@Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 1:49 pm : ok finaly i get it done!!!
blender was my last chance to get my model into quake,
and it works good.
everybody please check my model!!!
http://rapidshare.com/files/12698233/model2.rar.html
i know it isnt very nice, but the reason of this model is only to testing the model-export-way for quake.
the last job with this model is adding some bump und spectral textures...
the next model will be much better

darknesz@Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:16 am : yeah i know blender but i wont model with it,
for export to md5 its an idea , for export i can use 3d MAX too.
tokiWarT00th@Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:40 am : Hey gang. I was hoping if someone could help me out with getting static models into Q4 (a box to start). I am using Maya 7 to create my models and normal maps. I then export out the low res model as a .fbx and import it into 3DS Max 8. After I apply the textures (diff,spec,normal,height) in the material editor I then delete all history and export out as an .ase. I then set up my .mtr file and paths.
Now I can get the model into the game, but now I can't for the life of me get the textures to work. It's just a white box with black lines.
I made sure the model is triangulated and whatnot. Here is my path info:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox.ase , mybox_d.tga, mybox_s.tga, mybox_h.tga, mybox_local.tga.
Do I strictly have to render out the normalmap in Quake using renderbump or am I ok with what I am doing in Maya? I think my problem may be in my .mtr file but I have no clue. I still have the renderbump command in the file just to be safe. Here is the .mtr file just to be sure:
models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox
{
noSelfShadow
renderBump -size 1024 1024 -aa 2 -mergehigh -trace .07 models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga
work/models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_hi.ase
diffusemap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_d.tga
bumpMap addnormals ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_local.tga, heightmap ( models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_h.tga, 4 ) )
specularmap models/mapobjects/gman/box/mybox_s.tga
}
I would appreciate any help available. Thanks a lot for looking at my post. Cheers.
