wow alot of questions ^_^ I didn't really read them all, but it seems people are having alot of troubles again

anyway, just want you guys to know I bought a new computer, with a intel i7-930 along with a nvidia GX 470 graphics card. I'm running Windows7 now instead of my old winXP. I also have the new 3dsmax, max2011. when I get some other side projects done, I'll return to this. Then I can get a first hand idea of how to do this using the latest OS and hardware..
most should have my simular specs, so hopfully more can relate.

yeah i have the model, theres a FF viewer that views pretty much everything ff on ps2.

huh O_o

sorry you lost me lol

OK, well a written will come.. sooon not tomorrow.. maybe next week k

i don't say anything in the videos besides "um......." so I don't think audio really mattered

3dsmax8 was posted in the first post. its a 30day trial though, but more then enough for someone to decide if 3dsmax is for them of not.

also I won't spend time writing a written guide, cause if people can't sit and watch a video. ? why would they sit and read a 5 page explanation.

hm?

the script gets added to max a bit oddly. I think you have to goto the customize thing at the top. then add that gadget into where every you want it. you can add it into the quad, the context menu I have when i right click.. or you can add it anywhere in the menu bar..

and, now the error;

"--Unknown property: "name" is in $selection"

means nothing was selected from the sounds of it.. otherwise I've never seen that error before. its very vague to begin with :p

I got all the models through dolphin, when you use 3dvia it usually removes the vertex weights. giving you a fully Tposed model. just as if you had extracted it from the game files.

i find this technique easier then reversing pesky model formats each time. especially one as annoying as nintendo's

I'm taking a break from this anyways. I want to get caught up on some model ripping, which is something I enjoy more. then I'm far behind on the script changes I wanted to make. plus I was asked by a few people to look at this and that.

though anyway, there is a crash bandicoot vertex likely coming.. then if the script gets finished, a lightning from ff13 to be coming.

though beyond is right, I'm looking for diverse modding ideas. meaning, I likely won't be doing anymore pokemon. but I do keep an eye on all your requests, so don't hesitate to drop your ideas.

I was refering to the whole body.. that's not gonna move too nice, and making the body staic isnt an option

I'm old, I dont like any of these new pokemon, they look demented.. mewtwo was the last pokemon in my opinion.. theres nothing past 151

that's a guy though, who dresses like a girl

wow, you can't change extensions in MAC? I'm sure you could find some answer on google

thats what I thought, but it actually causes animation issues.. anyway yeah a hat wont cause the world to end. that is most likely do-able

I have access to models from pretty much every major game, except PS3 exclusives.

vertex hacking has its limits, I think you might have over exceeded that limit.


model looks good though, I just think you'll never get it working.

sorta happened to me, with lightning on ike. the transformation was too extreme. I'm going to have to hack the rigging format, to tweak how the vertices bind during animation. just to hide my own failure to pre-plan.
