Vertex Hacking: Advanced Techniques

[DrPanda]

I cant believe I am about to ask this...

How do I get Collada to work? I mean where do I install it to and have it work with 3dsmax?

<_<

When you run the installer, it should automatically detect if 3DS Max is installed and install the plugin where it needs to be.

It detects it but then it asks me where to put it... By default it puts it into program files as a new program but there are no noticable changes there after

If you go in 3ds Max after installing it, can you import COLLADA files?

I'm following the written guide. When I get to the point where I collapse the list and then Press H to select the vertex group, the vertex group name isn't showing up, only the polygon name is. Could somebody please help?

No. You need the plugin.

Yes and no.
I can if I go to file>Import but I can't when I use Mariokart's Script

You can't import .daes with MKs script. Only vertex sets.

I was able to export the vertices on to the mdl0 properly yesterday, but I don't remember what I had done. I'm afraid that if I choose the polygon instead of the vertex group that it'll get an error and then it'll rotate the model and unable to undo it.

Ahhhh, that explains everything!
Well then, problem solved, thanks Beyond

For some reason, when I ran AiS, it came back with the report. "AiS has stopped working." Why is this?

[Sajiao Omelette]

Don't run AiS, drag the BRRES onto it.

I really need to know what I have to do in this situation. I'm currently stuck just waiting for an answer as to what I am supposed to do. I really don't want to redo what I vertexed.

When you get to that stage, make sure you all polygons are visible (unhide all or something like that) then you can select the vertex group.

Thank you so much! It worked!

I have a problem, when i run ColladaMax it does'nt detect 3DS max for some unknown reason so it wont install the plugin. Can someone upload the literal plugin's?

Whenever I use AiS, it only works with unedited models, so I can't get it to double patch anything, because it's been edited. What do I do to get AiS to work?
