   Topic by LEViATHAN · Nov 2008 · Home› Technical Talk

   Anyone able to dig up tutorials on how to animate stuff and exporting to MD2/3 format for me? Only know how to do bone-based stuff. Using max 7/9/2008 btw. Thanks in advance. <3

   So I can just use bone rigs to animate?

   IIRC md2 and md3 store vert positions for animations, so how they get moved (bones, biped, cloth sim, etc)is irrellivent to the format.

   Yes, you could even do your wacky titty IK if you wanted. Anything that moves vertices will show up in your animated MD2/MD3 since it's only a vertex morph format. I personally recommend MD3 though, as that is not limited to integer precision like MD2 (makes a huge visual difference)

   just animate like you're used to (merge all the animations to one file) and export as md2 i used this script to export, dunno if it works in max 2008 http://www.blitzforum.de/upload/file.php?id=1627
