I've been informed that we can now import .dae models, and I'm interested! But I have questions.
From what I've read and watched (which isn't that much so far) these are the questions I got:

Do you have to have 3DS Max 2010-11? I have 8, and I'm guessing we can't use that.
Will it work in game? What have people imported that worked?EDIT: Just now noticed the "Model Imports" thread... 
And lastly, is it considered easy to do? I have a **** ton of Final Fantasy X and X-2 models that I would love to see in Brawl! Seriously, a TON OF MODELS!!!!

I'm EXTREMELY new on the 3DS Max vertexing and I downloaded the Collada that Mariokart64n provided but when I got to install it, it says:
Warning:  This plugin is compiled for Autodesk 3ds Max 2009, 2008, 9.0, 8.0 and 7.0.\nNeither were detected. You can still install the source code\nand documentation, and copy the plugin files manually.

So I click OK. It installs, and when I open up 3DS Max 8 and try to import something, .dae doesn't show up as an import! Is there some other way to import .dae's that I should be doing or is it something else? All help apreciated.

Not exactly that but I vertexed Peach's right shoulder ball, I tried re-making it on the other ball, but it turns out to be an epic fail! Is there anyway that I could make her left shoulder ball the exact same shape as her right? I tried hexing, I took both the vertex sets for each ball and the model and put them into HxD. I copied the hex values of the left ball and search for them in her model file, then, once i found them, I copied the hex values of her right ball and pasted them over the left balls values. But it messed up and when you look at it in BB, its very spikey and the texture I put on it is darker than the right side. Being familiar with Peach's balls(xD), the left one is flipped upside down when vertexing it, so when I hexed it, it was right-side up. So I flipped it up-side down and that still didn't fix it. So does anyone know what I could do?

All you Dazzle users out there please help!
I just bought a Dazzle and I tried recording Brawl on the software it came with, and it horribly sucked!!! Like it clipped the video and it was super laggy , and the music was all messed up. Then I used Debut Video Capture(the software I use to record my computer monitor) and it can record the video just fine, but it won't pick up any audio what so ever! So if anyone knows how I can enhance my video recording please tell me. All help appreciated.

I did a vertex of her chest jewel, and made it into sun glasses. But since the jewel is attached to her chest, every time her chest moves the glasses do to, which sux because I worked hard on those simple to make glasses!

So is there any possible fix to this or is vertexing her chest jewel and moving it somewhere is an epic fail?

Alright, I might be getting a new laptop soon, but I think that it comes with Windows 7, and I need to know what programs run on it and which ones don't. Like BrawlBox and DasDonkey Vertex Box. I really need to know what works so that if something that I need doesn't work then I will find another laptop. All help appreciated.

Where do I put my common3_en.pac at? I did it once but forgot...  :'( So what is the directory? Like private/wii/app/rsbe/pf then where?

I want to record a Brawl/hack but not with a video camera. Does anyone know what I could use/buy to record what I am doing? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Alright, I need some peoples opinion about wireless routers. I have been super stressed out recently because of my LinkSys WRT54G wireless router, and I have had a different wireless router that was also a LinkSys and they both just quit working on me And I have tried to fix them both 30+ times and all its doing is making me more pissed! So I want to know what you all use for yall's wireless routers. And btw if you even DARE to recommend a LinkSys router, I will personally kill you in my mind(not that effective to you but whatev) So just don't even mention LinkSys and how great they are! Cause to me they aint!!!! And don't try to tell me how to fix them either, I don't even want to touch the thing anymore... So what do yall use that is $100 and lower, thats RELIABLE ?]

[Okay, first of all, lets get this clear. I do NOT use 3DS max and don't know if I ever will. But if you don't want to use 3DS Max either and you just want to simply vertex hack, here is a video tutorial I made to show everyone the gist of the way I do it. And even though I'm editing a stage in the video doesn't mean that the same methods don't apply to character, because they do. Everything in this video will show you how to vertex hack with just Anim8tor! So here it is, sorry for the low audio. And sorry for the length(23 mins!)Go HERE to watch the video. I suggest that you let it load before watching it. And I hope it helps some future vertexers out there!And HERE is the DasDonkey Vertex Box that works with Anim8tor, which is also included in there.]

[Okay, me and x_funtaztic_x have been modifying my Clean Temple, to make Enhanced Temple! And after we finished moving everything that we wanted to and adding our own little texture, I saved the file and it comes out to be 1,438 KB and we checked the original file size and it's 945.97 KB!!!! So, I went ahead and tested the stage out in-game, and of course it froze, but not with the exaggerated beeping noise of DEATH, it just froze and wouldn't load. Of course we had to assume that it was the file size! So, if anyone knows how to shrink the file size, it would be greatly appreciated! And just to be sure we compressed it using BrawlBox, the compression type was the LZ77 one, and THAT made it freeze with the exaggerated beeping noise of DEATH. We only worked like 3 hours on it, even added the collisions!!I'm mean look at it! So if anyone can tell us what do to or maybe fix it themselves, then please HELP! And if you do help then Thank you in advance!]

[Okay, I made a texture for Ike, infact a whole entire pack of re-colors and csp's, but that was when my Wii wasn't with me. So I got home and tested them out in Brawl, and these are what I got...(I forgot to hex off the cape)(the order of the pictures are front view screwed up, then the back view screwed up.)Black Texture:(btw notice the cape has his sword's texture image on it?) White Texture:(btw notice the cape has his pants/shoes/belt's texture image on it?)Green Texture:(btw notice the cape has his sword's texture image on it, and the shirt is messed up?)Blue Texture:(turned out to be the best one, get rid of the cape and fix the white hair, and thats how they should all look,model wise)Red Texture:(btw notice the cape has his sword's texture image on it, and his shirt is messed up?)Yellow Texture:(btw notice the cape has his sword's texture image on it, and his shirt is messed up?)B4 you ask, yes ALL of my textures replaced the right textures in BrawlBox.If you need one of the files, please tell me and I will send you a link to download it without hesitation, but please if you know how to fix this tell me.]

[I was just messing around with plugins for paint.net and I found one that makes pictures into anaglyphs, or 3D images! So,of course, I was wondering what if we could make a levels or characters texture 3D and we would like wear 3D glasses, would it work? I know if your reading this your thinking two things, 1. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! 2. That'll never work, your fukcing crazy! Wouldn't that be awesome!PS-I didn't really know where this would exactly go, so If you need to move it please do.]

[I'm sure this has been posted before but I need HELP! Ok, I made a new sword for Ike (newer than my previous one) and if you play with it in-game whenever you use an attack where he swings his sword it shows Ike's previous sword glow in the shape of his previous sword, so it looks like he is using his old sword... And I don't like that! So if any body knows how to fix this, like make the sword glow in the shape of my new sword, it would be very helpful.]
