Banshee model idea:

Randyman · Post by **Randyman** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 7:32 pm

the only problem is I can't import it into the Halo Map file via HMT3.

It says something about a script error.

HELP!

a) I use 3ds max for the modeling. I have the plugins.

b) I used HMT3 for the modding.

Sure you only moved the verticies of the existing banshee model? Sorry but that one looks like a from scratch model, and btw it is sweet.

oh and its 7000 like i said http://store.aliaswavefront.com/dr/v2/e ... CACHE_ID=0

yeah, it's got the exact same number of verticies.

the only reason it looks so different wasn because I spent like an entire day working on it.

the skin is actually that of an apple.

and this is my very first modeling job.

and as far as the sig goes...

there, I fixed it!

Yeah Maya is alot of money for a program, but you get what you pay for. I have imported object into Maya5, I have the plugin for Obj files. But when I export them and try to import it into a model it does not work. Does anyone know how to check the vertices and indices of an model in maya5.

it wont tell u what hmt sees them as though is the problem, im at school so cant check exactly where ill do it later, vetigo if hes on could tell u if he sees this post before i get home

the number of verticies is the same. I verified that in 3ds max. However, I was hoping that 3ds max could tell me the indices, partially because Halo was made in 3ds max.

the number of indices is still unknown, btw.

Beastman · Post by **Beastman** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:00 pm

no, max gives verticies and face count

Randyman · Post by **Randyman** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 7:34 am

actually, I'm kinda embarrased about this, but what are indices?

Beastman · Post by **Beastman** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 9:38 am

They are reference points, i know they sound like verticies but i believe they are similar but instead of displaying all of the verticies, indicies are points connecting faces that are attched to eachother and are parrallel, so like lets say a plane has 4 polys, like the edges are cut down the middle making 9 verticies: the 4 corners, the midle intersect point, and teh four points on the edges, but indices are the 4 cornerss only so the plane has 4 indices, i could be totally wrong about this but thats what i believe they are.
