3ds max 9 == Dif

by G00R00 · in Artist Corner · 02/27/2007 (10:19 am) · 5 replies

Hello Everyone, :)

Exportor pro seems to be working fine on max9, bug in start up saying it wont load but it does.
pretty painless. Now i can make dts.

But how do i convert a model to a dif? I cant seem to find solution for this. I have many building models I would like to use and dont really want to use lightwave9 or maya 8.5.

I'm sure I could export to one of those then use export to dif. but sounds like alot of image loss and time.

I sure would be greatful for some ideas.

peacefully Strong.

The topic of DIF creation is all over these forums.
QuArk, 3D World Studio, DelD are all programs that let you create DIF stuctures.
CONSTRUCTOR will do the same for you once released.
GLB3.0 is a Plugin for Max, that can give you great DIF's but no good UV MAPS.

GLB3 (Game Level Builder) available at maple3d.com, is a poor way to create .dif files but it worked for a student project that I did. My suggestion would be to use Torque Constructor, it's free to download from GG. It's very intuitive, I picked it up in about 2 hours.

Best of luck.

What is the bug? What was the scene? How complex was the scene? Was it setup correctly?
