3ds max video tutorial on compiling props

[Zacker]

Compiling models from max to Source is such a pain in the ass, so thanks for the tutorial vid:)

And yeah, it does not work atm.

I am currently trying to compile get a model from max into Source which so far has been a nightmare. Even with a 3rd party helper tool like SteamShovel I still got no luck on getting a .mdl out of it.

What someone really should make is a plugin to max so that I can just select "Export->Source mdl" and let that be it. Instead I am forced through a myriad of smd files, qc files, guimdl compilers, etc.

So please get that video tutorial up again!

That would not work. You would at the very least need a ton of options to choose the settings for the model.

Try working with e.g. Max&Virtools and you will see that exact workflow. A number of options is needed, but that could be handled within the aforemented workflow.

any chance that video will be coming anytime soon ?

would like to see my 1st model in-game ^^

and THEN .. it's time to read zillions of pages about texturing / mapping

that would be this one::

I recommend picking up vivis texture/uv mapping tutorial from iwannamap.com.
