I started getting a vertex error today, the one where polygons fly off in any direction the please for a long distance.
I use anim8or.
I believe I heard that the newest Vertex Box doesn't support Anim8or.
Just edit everything in 3DS Studio or w/e it's called.
I don't like 3DS max =_=
Gotta use 3ds, sorry.
The new version of dasdonkey doesn't require anim8tor, and anim8tor actually screws it up. Just create a 3ds in dasdonkey and edit in 3ds, then export.
Or you can uses Mariokart's DAE meathod, which is more complicated but in the long run takes a load of work off your back.
3ds max with a Dae convert is the way to do it
