    Question on step 12. If you're selecting the joints in the outliner instead of a viewport, does the order you select the joints matter then?

    Nope. I usually just maximize the joint hierarchy, then shift-select the whole bunch at once, then if there are any joints I don't want that got selected, ctrl-click them out.

    Wow, this was much needed and I find it to be advantageous to have knowledge in both 3DS Max and Maya! Thanks!

    I got pretty far, I got a ps2 Kenshin model and rigged it over Link.

    So I got the model binded and exported as a .DAE, then replaced the model in my .PCS and saved it... but the model is all white. Forgive my nubbishness, but where did the texture go? It was textured in Maya. The textures I have do not match the ones in brawlbox, which is not a surprise as kenshin's textures come from a ps2 game Smiley

    Do I have to make them all from scratch? That sounds like a pain...

    Yeah, sorry, this tutorial was all about getting a .DAE for use in Brawlbox. All the steps after that are covered by other tutorials on the site. But yes, you'll need to import your texture files into BrawlBox. Under the ModelData folder, there should be a TextureData folder. Open it up, and then right click on it to import your textures. Be sure to delete all of Link's original textures to save on file space.

    It's not too hard to relink textures, though.

    if you know of a tutorial here explaining how to get those exported textures to appear on your model in maya, would you tell me what it is? None of the topics are about that specifically. The closest I can guess would be the dummie guides to dae importing/rigging but those are all using 3ds max

    What a bump. Just wow.

    Anyway, you need to open the hypershader in Maya.
    It's under Window < Rendering Editors < Hypershade.
    You then need to select each material then look in the Attribute editor and select color. Then open your texture. Yes you have to do this one at a time.

    What a bump. Just wow.

    Is a bump when someone new posts in an old thread and it bumps that thread up to the most recent threads? If so, I don't understand how to avoid that if you have a question that's pertinent to an existing thread that just happens to be old.

    For future reference, I think maya 2014 does import these textures automatically. At least for me, I had already exported the textures from brawlbox into the same directory as my model and Maya included them when I imported. Being brand new to maya, I didn't know that you have to press 6 to switch to "shaded display (with texture)" in order for them to appear.

    Another question though: when I import a model from bbox into maya, it loses a lot of smoothness and becomes blocky. Is this supposed to happen?

    Sorry for the double post, but I think this question belongs here because I had some issues trying to directly follow this tutorial.

    1) my joints look different than yours and while I assume this wouldn't change how things work, all the huge circles kind of make it confusing to see where individual bones are.

    How do I get mine to look like yours?

    2) I couldn't progress past step 13 because maya wouldn't let me bind the skin.

    It gave me this error message at the bottom.

    1. Display > Animation > Joint Size

    Then change it to whatever you see fit.

    2. Make sure to follow the tutorial to the letter. I got the same error and then after following it to a 't', I was able to start applying influences.

    Ok So, I followed every step as best as I could but I still get the same issue. It won't let me bind the skin. I figured the most efficient way to see what I'm doing wrong is to just document every step I did so I made a thread in the model help section with pictures. Can anyone take a look and see what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi, sorry I'm kinda new to this but I followed this tutorial to a tee and I managed to get the model working in brawl ( I'm trying to import a Terra (kingdom Hearts) model over one of Ike's costumes). However the texture doesn't seem to show up. It looks fine in brawlbox but when I play it in game, the model shows up but the whole model shows up black and untextured except for the cape. Please help!

    Check your Shader in Brawlbox.
    The initial Shader Brawlbox gives you is a little strange and will do that.
