Does anyone know what causes a faceting visual effect on curved reflective surfaces? Its not visible in 3ds max, only once the model is in game.

When you exported from 3ds max was there an error message in the bottom left? It should say "model exported successfully". Also make sure you exported it to the correct races troops folder, ie don't export a spacemarine to the guards folder.

Hey Moreartillery,

 

I found this post diggin' around online for this software. In your post you mention the x64 installion. I'm curious would you also have a link to this disc installer as well.

These are golden! Thanks for your uploads.

I have an .iso file but its much bigger then the version linked in the tutorial (3GB), and as far as I know it doesn't offer any advantages for modding dawn of war.

Hey MoreArtillary,

I think you reposted the x32 version , this iso is 1.8GB,considering your words,i'm assuming that Disc 2 is over 3GB?

 

Thanks for the host btw!

You don't need disk 2. Run setup and theres an option to install 64-bit. Follow the installation instructions in the tutorial.

 

To be clear, disk 1 has both 32-bit and 64-bit.

Great tutorial, I’ve been using 3ds max for quite a while as a hobby but learned so many useful things here. Can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials.
I love using my XP-Pen Deco Pro drawing pad for 3ds max. I’m left handed with the pen and use the space mouse on the right of my keyboard. The 3D connexion mouse is great but I still get pain even with the space mouse.

I keep getting "unknown system exception".  Does anyone have any idea to fix this?

I do most of my animating in Maya because that's what I have experience with but send to 3DSmax. I have both Max 2008 and 2023 installed. Both are set up to export, though only max 2008 is set to import. 

I am not seeing the DoW Properties Browser  in either version of 3DSmax, nor am I able to export because on both versions I get this error

MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception:
"--Argument count error: Export Model wanted 5, got 3
--File name: [directory] RelicDirExport.ms
--Line number: 122"


Line number 122 reads as follows:
 

dir = getFilenamePath( f )
result = ExportModel dir forcerebuild.checked false
if( result == false ) then
(
removeRollout g_ExportProgress
print( "Error exporting model, aborted directory export!" )
return false
)
 

File is set to 
C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\ModTools\DataSrc\My_Mod\Art\EBPs\races\*race name*\troops


Any idea what's going wrong here? (I've also tried it with models directly exported and immediately re-imported which doesn't work either)

This is the seventh time I've tried this

Same guy, I meant datageneric


Also for Model Export I get an error for line 381 which says I need a class or function and that it got undefined. Line 381 is the g_IntDataSrcPath = w40k_pipeline_sourcetointermediate g_DataSrcPath

some of you new guys better use this quick because once the license expires it will be IMPOSSIBLE for you to use it again. Trying to renew the license its so futile as manage.autodesk.com will never show you 3DS Max versions below 2021 and there is no way to obtain activation code and serial number so those tutorials of resetting, renewing, extending etc the license will never work.
