Hey, i want to save the model of uhh.. lets say pistol (the real halo pistol, that is) so i can edit it and stuff and then re-inject it. How would i go around to saving it? And can it be done with HMT?

umm.. How? I'm trying to get the model from HMT or wherever into 3ds max. How do i go around doing it? And i'm pretty in-experianced with HMT and modding, so i don't really know what you mean by mod2 tags
sorry..

Also, if you just try to import it straight into max, you will probably have to do loads of normal swapping. I recommend importing it into a program like AccuTrans 3D, saving it as a .3ds then importing that into 3ds Max

You won't have any normal problems, other than them being flipped. Just go into edit mesh and select all the faces and flip the normals. Not hard. But I think Max 6.1 might have a minor glitch with this plugin. Chances are you don't have 6.1, but just try it first.
