...what?

You mean when I bring the model into Max (I use Blender, I despise Max and Maya), make sure it's centered on the world origin?

Double posted to bump, but with new info. I got the little turd to show up by replacing the plasma pistol, but it sits above MC's hand. How do I define where the hand grips the pistol? Is the only influence on that the frame or marker that I set way back as a max file? No doubt that one's a question...

Thanks, unfortunately, I had already done that, and even did it again to make sure. No luck.

Hi all, Okay, I've read the different tuts, read the stickies, done some searches, and so far, no luck. I've gotten a model ingame, and I've even gotten it to show up in MC's hand, but for some reason, this new model doesn't show up in his hand, and neither model I've made has shown up when stuck in...

Blender reads the opacity of the model I'm importing automatically, so Max better be able to read that - how is the Hog bound to it's windshield and how is that set?

Ok, so there's a max 6 different kinds of vehicles then, looks like.

Thanks for the help!

I gather from my searches that transparent effects (glass, etc) are controlled by shaders. My question is how do I create a weapon with partially transparent sections? The weapon I'm modeling is the one the minifig is holding - http://guide.lugnet.com/set/?q=442_1&v=z Note how the green is a tra...

Indeed, please do!

You're talking 10 different kinds of vehicles and 2 kinds of turrets, yes?

-Stefan-

Balance issues aside for the moment, is it possible to add several more types of vehicles to HaloCE maps? For example, a third kind of warthog, or second kind of banshee?

A respectful and polite *bump.*

I haven't fiddled with import/export, but I know that Blender reads the HMT exported models just fine, including all the odd webbing all over them.

THAT ^ was confusing. No, .obj doesn't export right from Blender. Use VRML 2.0, it works perfectly. There's also a variety of formats and scripts to use for export, including perhaps the native formats that 3ds Max and Gmax use.

Ok, you talk about using a graphics card but jump right into assumptions about programs, so I'm a bit confused. However, even onboard graphics nowadays should be sufficient. Alternately, something as old as a Radeon 9000 would work fine. My suggestion would be that while you may have to use Gmax for...

Can't say I like the wheels, but the midnight blue look is very nice.

-Stefan-

Ooh, shiney. Does it shimmer like the Forerunner installation walls?

Hi, I'm trying to put a new gun into HaloCE, using the tutorial stickied up top. However, when I try to run Chimp, it tells me that it can't find any used materials. Yet, I seem to have done everything that I can decipher out of the tutorial's rather questionable grammar, and the mesh itself does ha...

Right click>save. That works.
