New SLT Exporter plugin released.

[mcm2boys]

This has been in the pipeline for a long time but finally is going to see the light of day.

This plugin can only be used with Milkshape3D which is a simple to use low poly 3D modelling program with a large number of plugins available - even for 3D Max.

It isn't meant to replace UniBastard but it should help people who are new to 3D modelling or who use a newer version of 3D Max. It also allows for models with multiple textures which UniBastard doesn't. If you use Max then you will have to export your model to 3DS and import it into Milkshape 3D.

You can get the Plugin from here:

Have fun,

RIDER MODELS!? Shiiit... I didn't know it could do that, bikes either, should have read more of it...! wow :|

Expect a new rider soon then... 

Btw, can you give us a hierachy of the rider model...

[metal_miracle]

sorry about that didnt know either..

[BombX3]

lol no offence...but did anyone think it was for exporting ur own riders and stuff?

cheers tho

[v_hoOk~]

so... who has a good rider model

[Bunny]

One of you guys should make a new rider with maybe some spikes on the chest protector or something.

im making a FMX rider model, its so hard its not even funny, selecting all the vertex's. and jointing them. o well all the hard work should pay off.

[mcm2boys]

Sorry i didn't realize UniBastard did multi textures, i remember reading that Diablo had to make multiple models and stick them together, but that was a while back i guess technology has moved on.

This plugin has filters to make sure all the parts for bikes and riders are in the right order in the SLT but that's all it does - there's no guarantees that your exported Bike/Rider will work in game but there is now a better chance that it will (with less work for Extreme). 

Also Milkshape comes with about 27 other plugins so you don't have to model in ms3d, you can model in other 3D packages and Import it into ms3d and then Export as an SLT.

This is just another option for modellers i wrote it because i use Milkshape3D myself and i found it usefull - i thought maybe someone else might as well, if you like it great if not then don't use it.

I noticed one thing was missing on the Bike parts list, the NullFrame dummy...

[mcm2boys]

It adds that in for you automatically. - UniBastard doesn't do that..

Lauire thanks alot for the plugin. I really like it and its very, altho Mikeshape is kinda a lame prog its kinda difficult to get the joints. If you could, maybe make a little tut on how to joint. I think i have the basic idea on how it works but im not 100% sure, and also, im sending you an e-mail on something for mcm2 to MXU conversion. ive talked to you about it before but i need some details. Thanks alot Laurie and the TD crew nd if anyone was wondering, the new Milkshape comes with Lauire's new plugin already installed

[mcm2boys]

I don't have a tut on making the joints but i can maybe put the MCM2 rider skeleton up for download then you can just import it and hook up the model to it. I didn't realize that this plugin was already in the Milkshape bundle - the developer must have released a new version.


Laurie

MS3D comes with v2.04 of this plugin - the latest version is v2.05 avaiable from the link above.

[tw0_f0ur_]

yeah if u can please release the mcmskelelton. this is a pain jointing all the vertexs
