A Simple "BAT" request/Conversion request..

I want to create diagonal buildings other than the basic triangle shape i have always done, the good thing is that prepo released on the Sc4devotion-CSXLEX.2.gif

LEXPICDIAGONALS.jpg

But, it has a downside it only works for GMAX.8.gif Now, don't get me wrong i don't blame Prepo for this, but i kind of need this for 3dsmax. I heard of that conversion program for gmax, and tried it but it's much too hard for me... Only person i know from STor any fan site that can do this is Toxicpiano, but i don't see him so often nowadays. So could someone please be so kind to try either converting the files, or modeling somewhat simple replicas?

it's all i ask..

The models can be found at the SC4D-CSXLEX.

Just open it up in GMAX, copy the dimensions and angles down, and duplicate in MAX. 2.gif


SC4, Forevermore!

Currently preoccupied with architecture school...lurking with caution.

    Glenni, I could give the measures for you? Or copy them yourself, because they are really simple to do.

    .3DS files can be imported by both 3ds max and gmax I think. 3ds max can export them (gmax can not export them). If something is uploaded as that file type both groups of people will be able to use it. I'm not sure if .3DS files hold texturing information though, but for these it doesn't matter.

    Toxicpiano, you should contact Prepo and see about getting these uploaded somewhere.

    As for texture coordinates, don't think that's much to worry aobut, they are afterall just silly little coloured dummies.17.gif
