[Guide] Making M2 models without 3Dsmax. -
09-18-2007
This guide will show you how to make M2 models without 3dsmax.In
other words make them with a different program.You will need a different program and the
3dsToM2.exe which you can find here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Now make sure your program can save in 3ds file format or else your screwed
Now open your program, im opening mine in Rhino.
Now start making a model.Thats a bad side to this.Without 3dsmax you cant convert
M2's to 3ds files so you need to make a model from scratch.Im going to just make a example model
by messing around.
Once your model is done put it directly in your C:\ or w/e drive so the directory should
be C:\*modelname*.3ds Now make sure your 3dsToM2.exe is also in your C:\ drive.
So they should both be directly in the C:\ drive.Now go to Start-Run then type cmd and
press enter.A cmd window should show up.
Now only press space bar when i say SPACE.Type C:\3dsToM2.exe SPACE C:\*yourmodelname*.3ds
SPACE C:\*a-new-model-name*.M2 SPACE 30 Then press enter.And yes you need the 30 at the
end or the model wont be very big.Later on you can experiment with that.Here is what the CMD
window should look like after you type all of that.
Now you should have a brand new M2 in your C:\ drive.Now its available for use in model editing .Hope you people enjoy this.
EDIT: Example of what you can do.And yes i made a box on purpose.

Okay, I've tried it now (LIVE server). I've switched the haystacks in Westfall out with a big version of Mandokir's Sting. As you can see in the video, it's a solid object, but it isn't visible :/ Anyone have a clue?

Yeah, I added a blp, but when I look at the compiler, it says that it couldn't find "MANDOKIR.blp" even though it is in the folder :/
Gonna do a few tests on it.
