Model importing

[koopa2222]

I wanted to get into making stages and wondered if someone could link to some tutorials on how to vertex hack, model import, animate stages, and edit collision data.

I don't know where to look for the first three but for collision data editing you should check out

this video

-- it really helped me.

well, this is why we have an entire section for just guides... but, i'll help anyways.

for vertexing, this is the one i use.  it seems easy and basic enough, but you'll definitely have to play around with 3ds max for a bit to get used to it.  but once you do, it'll be pretty easy to vertex. 

as for model porting, i happen to have a small guide on how to do so.  and by small, i mean huge.  it includes almost all glitches that could happen to a model port, and how to fix them.  it also has a brief hexing guide, and a guide for using Tabuu (a program).

as for the rest, just check out the top link.  you'll find just about anything you'll need.
