Well, I am making a mod that needs whole new skeletons and skins.

The coding seems to be no problem, but the model creating is driving me crazy

I got G-MAX and I tried making an skeleton. Compare the results to a normal skeleton (aragorn):



I also got other probs on modelling, as that geometry is not flexible enough with vertex, etc

So, could you plz tell me how to make "normal bones" or even recommend a better free program?

Thx

those are normal bones. the ones you see in aragorns skeleton are not

try the tutorials in EA's mod SDK, it's how I tried my first bits of animation (after that I stopped, btw )

thx, I will check that out.

Lol, at last I did normal ones... But they are enormous, lol! I would need to make size decrease...

[aragon94]

Does anyone know if 3ds MAX will be able to make me make models and skeletons easily? I wonder if I should stick with normal g-max...

[Mullers_11]

3DS Max is awesome for modelling. Just to clarify, you needhaving the RenX game pack for gMax may help.

maybe a bit late but i didnt notice that before. well you can those bones for making skeletons, just make sure to give it propes setting. overaly everything can be bone...for example you can make skl from boxes on such things if you want and you can resize the bone down

[aragon94]

so if it has the same settings it does not matter?

thx a lot

yeh...with correct settings everything can be bone
