MD3's with Max 7

poopinmymouth

So I looked at the tools page of the polycount quake 3 resources, and all I could find there (and on google) was an md3 exporter and importer for max 4 and prior. What is the solution for working with MD3's if you have max 7, or 6 I guess I could export it to, but I would prefer 7.

I don't think there's an MD3 exporter for Max7. The latest working version of Pop n Fresh's exporter for Max was for 3dsmax5, nothing newer.
You will probably have to use the route of exporting .ASE files and using ... is it QData or something? There's a proprietary id software app that converts .ASE to .MD3, I believe. Don't know where to get it though. I think it's called QData... I never used it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I do still have max 5 installed on my system, I'll migrate it over using obj. I didn't see a 5.0 version, but I am guessing it's out there. Thanks again mr cracker eater. 8-)

Try these. I believe the version md3 version for Max 5 will work in 7 though. http://www.maxplugins.de/max7.php?search=

Hope that helps.

Max5 plugins are incompatible with max7, as far as I know. Also, searching for "md3" on that site you linked to results in a max6 plugin by "Jedi Dreams", which is a dead download link, and can't be found on his site.

Sage

Hmm last time I tried it seem to work. Sorry.

Well, I guess this might help you out guys. Here is the MD3 plugin for Max 6 and works in seven as well. I guess I got to the site before it went down Enjoy.

Mop I believe I have gotten some Max 5 plugins to work in Max 7.

awesome man, thanks!

Cheers Sage. I found a version of the export plugin for Max6 a while back, but it didn't appear to work in Max7.

That one works fine - thanks!

If necessary you could always use a program like Caligari's gameSpace as an intermediary. It will import 3DS and export MD3.

So is there any instructions at all for this exporter or do I just select my mesh and tags and export MD3?
