Hi, i was wondering if someone could please convert the legacy isd (found in star wars > craft & vessels > republic) from MAX 6 to 3DS. I want to use a few in my latest project. Thanks,

Talonias

Wings3D is only a modeling app. You need to export it and then import it into an animation program (like Blender).

I have found that the following are free and all handle a variety of formats.

http://www.davidhsmith.net/downloaditems/3dexplor1_5.exe

http://www.davidhsmith.net/downloaditems/quick3D_Pro_4_setup.exe

http://www.davidhsmith.net/downloaditems/wc2pov27.zip

The first one though has a problem with max files and later lwo files.

Actually, everything has a problem with MAX files. Nothing but MAX can read them. Even the conversion programs require MAX to be installed on the system, and it opens up a MAX shell to actually open the file for it.. the file itself isn't really "read" by the conversion program.

3D Exploration is actually very old, and quite obsolete. It was replaced years ago by Deep Exploration, which has no trouble at all with the LWO2 format (but still has problems with MAX, like everything does).

If anyone can get those troopers and GG and the other .max things to .3ds, i can get them to .lwo format. Who has 3ds max?

Practically everybody here has MAX. Why LWO? You don't use LW, do you? 3DS is a fairly worthless conversion format anyway.. unless you prefer your imported models to be double their original poly-count.. your loss. OBJ uses quads. LW uses quads. Seems simple enough.

If you could get the .max files to .obj or .x that would work too. I am just used to .3ds, and i do have a poly reducer that really does not affect the look of the model all too much. In any case, I saw that someone mentioned they wanted clonetroopers in .lwo and Canvas imports/exports that.

This is a general request for the character models placed on SciFi-3d: All of the character models seem to be subpatched or smoothed. Is there a way to get versions of these files that are still the box model before subpatching? they don't need to be saved in a different format, just saved as polygon models. Starting from the box model and subpatching in your 3d software of choice would be greatly appreciated for all of us NON-3ds users out here.

If gMAX will do this or any other program, I can do it myself for my needs. I'd just like to get a method.

Thanks

Red
