Jedi Knight 3

S3iZUR3S

Hey, I was wondering what I need to start modelling for Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. I just downloaded Milkshape, but I was wondering if 3DS Max is better? Or Maya? And what other programs do I need?

Also for tutorials, I found some on here but they are for Jedi Knight 2, would the exact same thing apply to JK3, or can anyone direct me to some JK3 tutorials?

Help would be appreciated, thx.

.. 3dsmax if you want to get your model ingame, the jk2 model tut works fine for jka.

3dsmax is the only program that can properly export ghoul2 models with skeletons unfortunately

Yea, I do want my model in game. I'll get 3Dsmax then. Thanks for the help guys!

One more thing, for the animation..do I have to make that myself, or is there someway I can use the preset animations JK3 has?

You can only use the canned animations

S3iZUR3S

'canned'? Sorry, I'm new to this.

CheapAlert

"Canned animations" refer to a strict default same set of animations used by the game. In JK2/JKA it has alot of human lightsaber attack/defend animations, so there's no point wasting life making your own when you can only used the canned animations anyway.

Oh I understand. Well, I'm happy these 'canned' animations exist. Makes my life easier
