thanks Iron_Forge

But it don`t help me really.
I can`t open the models correctly.
Perhaps I must reinstall some more appz or that thing doesn`t support the German Halo

Could be your regional settings???I've heard Europeans use , (comma) instead of . (period) for their fractional separator...This uses the period...

Iron_Forge: I exclusively use the .X export function of the plugin (it seems to give me "cleaner" models. Any idea if you can fix the bones export? It almost works for some models but it messes up the scale of some components (I get giant Banshee wings and a really, really tiny MC helmet when I export with bones) and they flip out when you try and adjust them.

.X export works great in other respects.

If you have any questions or need to see the output let me know.

(Note: Using Deep Exploration v. 3.5.9)

The vertices link to the correct bones for meshes that have bones (the MC head doesn't)...However the transformation matrices are incorrect, which is why nothing works...I don't forsee fixing this anytime soon...I believe Halo 2 uses quaternions like H1 did, however there are a ton of floats associated with bones now that H1 didn't have...Combine this with the fact that I'm not 100% sure how to write them in the X files, there's not much I can do...

Bummer. Oh well, it's not impossible to create a new skeletal rig and copy over the weights table to get a structure that won't go crazy.

Again, thanks for the model exporter!

And what's this veegie is talking about regarding exporting the A8 bumpmaps? Is that a future tool connected with the ADI plugin set that will be released?

If i wanted to render a hog, which .obj files would i need to import? There are 160, and some are of the warthog broken etc
Can anyone help? Cheers, Scotty

Grab up the latest plugin, it names the files alittle better...Pick the models with the .5 (or highest number), since that represents the LOD...You'll probably want all the same pieces aswell...The main model is usually .base. or .default....
