youre talking about teh reverse vertex order button?

NoZTeK · Post by **NoZTeK** » Sun Dec 26, 2004 7:38 pm

yes... exactly but first you have to select all faces and then reverse it once and it wil look all black then reverse it again and then export it to 3ds and ten import it

thanks bro. heres a pic of where im at so far.

i had to delete alot of "junk" polys and whatnot to get here. should i not have? and whats next? do i have to go and extract all of the bumpmaps, textures, and bitmaps for the chief? i was thinking of just applying a chrome material to the visor and a satin mat for his exposed areas, but let me know what you think.

qphase wrote:I found the MC and his textures in mainmenu.map, Miranda is in single player shared, you need to either import these into your favorite 3d editor or get Maya. To install the plugin do the following:

install adi 1.2 C
download and extract the modelLib rar to Libraries in the adi folder
add a new line in the list.ini that contains "ModelLib.dll" (no quotes, and open the file up in notepad)

To extract the models do the following

open up the mainmenu.map
click the mode tag
find objects/characters/masterchief/masterchief
click the home icon in the lower left hand corner
click "wavefront obj" checkbox
click "export model" and select where to save
the program will create a objects / characters / masterchief folders
browse to the masterchief folder
now each of the files in there is a mixture of LOD models and different parts to the whole model
when you open the files up you have to do so in sets in this case every four models is a different LOD
Be sure to import only one of the LOD's at a time
this would mean importing masterchief.0.obj-masterchief.3.obj for the smallest LOD and masterchief.16.obj-masterchief.19.obj for the highest LOD.
Only one LOD detail should be in a scene at a time to prevent you from getting to confused.
The procedure is basically the same for Miranda, but her model isn't quite the same (no LOD's) she has two uniforms dress and captain and a head model
something else to note is that all obj files are subdivided into smaller models, for miranda her eyes are seperate from her face etc.

I hope this clears up a little of the confusion, you'll have to find the textures on your own.

ok how exactly do i import them all at once? like if i wanted the full MC model how would i do it

Place the modelLibrary in your Library folder that comes with ADI 1.2C
Now open the List that is also in the Library folder.
No just add "ModelLibrary" (without the quotes, and no #) and hit save.
Then start ADI and on your bottom right you see a button, press right mouse button, and then "show more buttons", now you see the modelLibrary thingy
