Yeniceri Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 when i animate a model (right stab. for example) and try to export as a lom it says "export module failure".. what do i do wrong?... i do exactly as the "animate in lomac.avi" shows... any help will do [sIGPIC]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa200/misikci/41-imza-1.jpg[/sIGPIC] "To infinity...and beyond!.."

JJ
Yeniceri Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 how can I? in 3dsmax is there an "convert to lom" option like "convert to poly"? becouse as far as i know you can convert to lom only in export process.. plug-in is in russian language.. is it in Lom utilities bar?

monotwix Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 All parts of model must have UVW coordinates. What's the course of action for exporting LODs USSR_Gys71? :helpsmilie: I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

USSR_Gys71 Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 What's the course of action for exporting LODs USSR_Gys71? :helpsmilie: Sorry. My english too bad for it. :( But for example you can see how ED made it for Su-25T. Any LOD-is new model which has approximately 2/3 polys from previous.

Any LOD-is new model which has approximately 2/3 polys from previous. Yea cool, I did the polys-polys and actualy 3 of tham LODs with 100% 75% and 4% of polys, so there i have three models stack in max with not being able to export them. I observed the LODs of SU-33 in the game and it works well and than I exported my LODs and thay don't do that.:D So I figured that they can be exported, the LOD section in LOMUTILS is there after all and the manual is in russian. Rocket section info is found but this, but this...? I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

What I meant was - did you try exporting the model to lom format before starting to work on animiations? The reason I ask is that the export failure is likely not down to your animations, but something with the model itself......such as the materials used. JJ
USSR_Gys71 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 2 monotwix You must edit *.skins file. lod = {"model name", 30}; lod = {"Lod1 name", 500}; lod = {"Lod2 name", 1000000}; collision = "name-COLLISION"; Su-25T skins for example lod = {"SU-25T", 30}; lod = {"SU-25T_LOD1", 500}; lod = {"SU-25T_LOD", 1000000}; collision = "SU-25T-COLLISION";

The reason I ask is that the export failure is likely not down to your animations, but something with the model itself......such as the materials used. OH!..ok.. now i understand.. and the answer is yes.. but i solved it... I made the model in 3dsmax9..than exported it as 3ds..and imported to 3dsmax7..At 3dsmax 7 the flaps was in one piece(the old edit poly>symetry>meshsmooth tree) than i divided it at max7..thats where the lom plug-in rejects the export..when divide it at max9 than imported to max7.. than it works.. Also..USSR_Gys71 was right..when you divide it in max7 if you set the UVW maps indivisually again for each part you divided.. it also works.. The problem is basicly UVW maps (again USSR_Gys71 is right) when max9 exports, it exports all parts with UVW maps. When you tinker them in max7 original UVW maps become useless. So you have to UVW map them again for a smooth lom export.. thanks for all the help guys.. keep it coming, gonna need them lot more on the way :) [sIGPIC]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa200/misikci/41-imza-1.jpg[/sIGPIC] "To infinity...and beyond!.."

Presidio Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Sorry i have the same problem.. But what a f... is UVW maps.!!!! Thanks!!!
monotwix Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Sorry i have the same problem.. But what a f... is UVW maps.!!!! Thanks!!! Well here is the straight forward description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVW_mapping I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
Presidio Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I found the UVW map, but i don´t have idea what i have to do!!!! How i can fix this problem. What do i have to push?????? This become to me crazy!!!! please i need help!!!

This become to me crazy!!!! please i need help!!! You can find some interesting tutorials with the use of search engines like google, yahoo etc. Simply tipe in the search slot, the key wards like: ''3ds max material tutorials'' and ''3ds max mapping tutorial'' and I'm sure some thing useful will come up. It's the case of learning and not pushing i.e takes time. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
Presidio Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks pal, i found something of help in this!!!. thanks the model have all the animation amoust finished.
