RAVEN plugins & 3D MAX 6 ???

monsoontide · 02-06-2004, 11:06 PM

'scuse me for posting here as well, but THIS modelling forum is much more active than the other one.

I'm trying to use the 3DS MAX plug-ins RAVEN released with the SDK but whenever I start MAX 6, it pops up an error message that the plug-ins are for an older version of the program.

Duncan_10158 is having a look at the Biker Scout I modeled and Keshire rigged (He's very busy though and I hate to pester him with this stuff).
Really I'd like to be able to rig it myself - but I only have access to Max 6.

Any solutions?

Are you able to export?
If so I can send it in a different format.

Have to get back to you on that one - I'm not overly familiar with Max. I mean I can load in the stuff you sent me just fine but I can't use the two? plugins that Raven included which I believe are imperative to being able to do this stuff myself.

hate to break it to ya, but the newest version of MAX that the plug-ins will work with is MAX 5. For some odd reason, they wont work with 6 no matter what.

Have you checked here -- http://jedidreams.codealliance.ca/jk2util.shtml ?

There's an .xsi exporter on that page for max 6, but I only have max 5 so I couldn't test it out for ya, that should be all that you need though other than Assimilate and Carcass.

Yep. An exporter is all you really need. I mean if you can at least open the max4.2 file I sent. It should have everything you need in it (bones and tags).

well Max 6 is almost useless for JKA purposes...

since the new Version 6 Features aren't really helpful for Playermodels or such I still recommend Max 5...

Until there will be good plugins for Max 6 some time will pass by.

I still prefer Max 5.1 since it's stable and it has all the plugins I need.

Oh and Mon ... what Tool do you uise for creating Models?

Personally I use Lightwave 7.5 which is GREAT for modelling & Animation - Not so great for getting player models done since there are no decent XSI/GLM importers/exporters or whatever it is I need to get the model into assimilate carcass & I only have access to MAX 6 not 5.

Uuuh..I provided a LINK for the Max6 plugins in the other forum....Oh..yeah....same one Manquesa provided.

LightNinja · 02-08-2004, 06:33 PM

thx for linking the plugins

Manquesa · 02-10-2004, 04:30 AM

yeah, that's where I got the link from.

Have you tried it yet Monsoontide? I'm curious to see if it worked or not.

monsoontide · 02-10-2004, 03:29 PM

Not yet - haven't had a spare minute! Will try it this week though.

The XSI plugin doesn't seem to work... You get the following error:

DLL <C:\3DSMax6\plugins\dotXSIExport_6.dle> failed to initialize.
Error code: 126 - The specified module could not be found.

I only recently got 3DSMax, so it might just be me doing something wrong...

I basically put the plugin in the 'plugins' folder.
