maya md3?

arshlevon

wanted to do some old school stuff, i was wondering if anyone knew of a md3 import export plugin for maya. having a hardtime finding anything on the web. there is supposed to be one here,
http://www.clanfu.org/muskoka
but the site is down.

You make me want to write one!
Maya2q3 seems to be down and that's the main link I'm seeing.

arshlevon

mop your game art powers are too strong..
if you could write one that would be awesome.. i have an old copy of max laying around from the contract days, i was thinking of installing that.. but would much rather have access to mel for rigs and stuff.

damn i tried muskoka aaaages ago, and I'm having trouble finding the install
I'll post again if it turns up

bingo:
http://www.redprodukt.com/post/muskoka-1.0.0-b11-windows-maya85.exe
like the filename says, this was compiled for 8.5 but sometimes that stuff works in other versions. give it a crack

arshlevon

thanks rooster !
unfortunately just tried and it doesn't work with 2008.
is the source out there someplace? its not too hard to recompile for different versions of maya.

edit***

found this importer, works great,

now just need to find a way to export

rooster

I had forgotten about this, but muskoka has a subforum on a mod forum:
http://jaymod.clanfu.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=9
doesnt look like anyone's posted in there for a while, but it appears the main forum is still active- maybe someone knows someone who could hook you up with the source

edit: if that fails, what might work is export to blender and then export to md3 from there? id wager cheapy knows a thing or two about md3 export from blender

arshlevon

yup, i think thats the way i am going to go, maya to blender to md3... less hassle than all this detective work.

thanks for all the help!
