Title: REQUEST!!!!
Post by: Viper on March 04, 2013, 12:38:39 PM: Hey guys, long time no see. I'm working on a fun costume project for con masquerades. I'm doing a set of redneck Klingons for a skit. I need some help though. I need to create some graphics and I realized, I have NO klingon ship models in 3d. I need a couple of basic Klingon ship models. Maybe a D7 and a BOP. I will be using them to create a Klingon "Nascar" scene for a tshirt and then a couple of "nascar" style belt buckles.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!

Oh, and I will start posting shots of some of the work I've been doing lately. Its not gaming related anymore, but its fun as hell!!!

Actually, I was looking to see if anyone had them in NON-BC format. I cant even run BC on this machine. I'm looking for just a mesh and textures I can throw into 3DS Max and edit to what I need.

just import the NIF models back into Max, all youd need is the plugin to bring them in... and they retain the UVW unwraps.

Post by: Viper on March 04, 2013, 02:17:23 PM: Ok, anyone have the plugin? Its been a while since I've done anything with the NIF files, and then it was always exporting, not importing.

Oh, and I am using the newest version of max.

only goes up to 2010 (my version) i think.

worth a shot to look into and see if 2012 will take it..
if not, let me know, ill see if i can scrounge the time to convert a few for you.

It might actually be easier that way come to think of it, since most times I've tried importing an NIF directly into Max, I've had trouble re-applying materials to the model's separate parts. If you export it as an OBJ, the textures will load automatically with the model.

If you don't have NIFSkope, here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/niftools/files/nifskope/1.1.3/

Also, if youre using the newest version of Max, I believe you have the option to import the OBJ file as a single entity, so if you import it that way, Max will create a Multi-Sub Material with all textures attached. All you would need to do is apply Spec Maps and Light Maps and you would be done :)

If you want them I can fire them your way tonight when I get home.
