Newest EDM Model Tools


Recommended Posts

Try exporting using file -> export. Then select EDM. Upload your file as well please, but save in the Max 2010 format. I know someone who uses German Max 2011 (I think) and it works.

Bob, i've tested the plugin in the office on various german max versions and it does not work! Only with the English.

 

Yes I can confirm this, I'm now using the English version and it works just like it should.

Thanks for your help guys :thumbup:

 

EDIT: BTW for anyone who doesn't knows: On Facebook search for Autodesk Students as soon as you have a student account there you're able to download almost every software published by Autodesk as a full-version (not student version!) no matter if 32bit or 64bit, version 2010 or 2012 and in various languages.

Pls publish Version Recent Changes. Thx

 

When a change comes around I will update the first post. However there are no real differences in the builds so far

timing is still unknown. My guess would be after an EDGE product has been released, but I could be wrong

That makes sense, but will EDGE change how 3D Objects are done as well or will it still use this new format?

As far as I know, it will continue to use the new .EDM format

Ok, that sounds reasonable, I had started to wonder if they wanted to keep the maps closer to the chest, but it seems reasonable that they would have to wait till EDGE was out in the public domain...

 

Thanks for the responses!

I tried 8 of the newer ones, then decide to upgrade to max 2011 and see if that helped.

 

I got the plugin installed but the Material utility EdModelTool described in the first post is missing,

 

heres a screenshot to make sure i'm looking in the right place

 

Also show my plugin window open to verify i've got the plugin loaded

I was using the utilities button on the top bar of the material editor, no good

 

Using the utilities button on the far right of the main screen, (hammer icon in 2011) good to go

Is there guidelines for models? Poly count, size etc? Can you open existing models to get this info? or is it mostly trial and error?

 

There is no solid guidelines. It mostly depends on if you want to make something for yourself, or something for everyone. Just some numbers, the F-15C is 160,000 triangles, the AIM-120C has 2,500 triangles, the Predeator drone has 8,300 triangles, the m-1 has 21,000 triangles.

 

You can open existing models in the model viewer. In the top left it will show you the triangle count
