Character Model Importing for Dummies (Under Construction)

[Naruto200Man]

dont dlete bones or it wont be wifi safe anymore

Oh...

Then I am glad I decided to not rig the rest of zelda's skirt then.

just the first bone in each little limb was good enough for Hinata's jacket =3

God, I really want a USB hard drive so I can rip me a Skyward Sword ISO with GUI exploorer D:

Why

Because Link and Zelda....that's why :D
Oh and the king....who looks suspiciously like the king of red lions in this game...
interesting.....

[SuperBarrio]

As somebody who needs every silly little technical little detail clearly pointed out to me, I have to say thank you! Such a guide will save me a lot of pain and fustration in the future.

And don't feel the need to rush! I have lots to do at the moment so can not give model importing a go for a while. (And obviouly I am the only person in the world that wants to. :|)

[Teinchi23]

I mean those two useless bones in Zelda's shoulders that only animate the armor parts in her model. Those bones

I found something useful to rig them to (I have the Left and Right Have N rigged to their respective hand polygons but not weighted to any vertexes) which is Hinata's Kunai so I can animate them/use them in psa.

Hinata's shoulders don't need two useless bones to be animated, so I found something to use them for. If your character has useless bones, either don't rig them or remove them.
It's that simple, or you can be clever and find a use for those unneded bones like I did.

So your saying I have to edit the model before I export it as a .DAE?

Why isn't this tutorial finished yet?

[BlackJax96]

Why isn't this tutorial finished yet?

When I get enough free time, like I had when I started the tutorial, I'll finish it.

I've been too busy to devote the time needed to finish it.

[Gamidame]

does this work on a non .obj file... like a .max?

[BlueBrain]

does this work on a non .obj file... like a .max?

of course, since u use 3ds max to export it as a DAE

[PAVGN]

Why do people keep asking about file formats? It doesn't matter what format the file is in once you get It into 3DS Max. :srs:

[Lion]

Any ideas about how fix it?

i tried using the collada version of the main thread, i updated Collada to 2011 version but it doesnt work also, im sure i put the correct options before importing

I think is because im using 3dmax 2010...

This bug doesnt affect the bones but i want to do some stuff in Falcon

also if someone can... a .max file of Falcon will be a great help

[Gamma Ridley]

Did you obtain the DAE using AiS? If so, try using the DAE exporter that BrawlBox v0.65 has. Those DAE files import into MAX properly.

[Lion]

When i do it with the brawlbox exported Dae the model doesnt appear and some bones are removed

[Lion]

:S

Im going to redownload brawlbox, maybe thats the problem

Edit: Nope

[DevMasters]

I'm having a big issue with rigging the legs on a character and was wondering if you had any good tips on how to get the right vertices for each leg so that there will be no straching on the model?

[BlueBrain]

[BIG MESS IMAGE]:S

Im going to redownload brawlbox, maybe thats the problem

Edit: Nope

i have the same problem with brawl models... but in 3ds max 8 ever since i downloaded that plugin >.<

[alexhall]

I'm having a problem when importing brawl characters .dae to 3ds max.

I export the model I want as a .dae, then I select "Import" in 3ds max and set the configurations as you can see in the pic:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

3ds max imports the model, shows me the usual error window, and when I close it, I encounter this:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

The model is all buggered up and the skelleton doesn't show as it should: The right foot is always away from the rest of the model and such things.

I'm using 3DS max 2010, and afaik, the dae importer that comes with it works :/

This is the result I have when importing a DAE exported in brawlbox 0.65, so that doesn't work for either Lion or me :/
