WoW - Models into 3ds max with textures pt 2

[imNoub]

when i click F3 ( which is framemode ) my character just disappears? please REPLY, thx alot man

[DraxKroener]

mine goes well, and some textures are included into the folder I exported the model to, however, I am using a night elf as a practice base and it only has the eye glow texture and the body texture ends up being the shoulder texture only, and there are no other textures available, any idea as to what's happening?

[omuletulnou]

ive got a problem...the surface isnt smooth like urs its all squares triangles and other forms

[DraconicMorphine]

Am I able to export any of this into another game lets just say dragon age, especially the armor and weapons by itself?

[Vladislavchooo]

i figured it out sry Great vid Helps a lot :) ty

[Vladislavchooo]

ok i followed the video step by step and when i went to the part with the textures i didnt have all of them. i have only the hair, the sholders and a shield texture. the weird is that i havent put a shield on the char in modelviewer. Oh and another thing i dont have the body texture so please if u know what am i supposed to do reply =)

[azrailyne]

Hey, I just started getting into 3ds Max animation. Not sure if you'll answer this since it's 3 years later, but worth giving it a shot :P

I read a lot of the comments and people seem to have the same problem. Followed everything step by step, got the textures up onto the sphere, but when I drag them onto the model, they don't copy on. The model doesn't even turn dark gray. Please help with this problem if you can!

[iwkya1]

@azrailyne Hey there, In your material window there should be a little tiny button above the standard button. It has a little checkerd pattern and a tiny lightbulb on it. Its called "show standard map in viewport".. Click it and you will see ur texture..

[azrailyne]

@iwkya1 Okay I see what you mean now. Sorry I'm really new to this. Thanks

[iwkya1]

@azrailyne or look at 2:25 in this vid.

[azrailyne]

@iwkya1 I did that

[PresidentLeather]

i need help!!! i drag the texture over to their body and it just turns dark grey like yours did but it doesnt go to my texture!!!

[komintoes194]

With this program can i change the shape of the body, like make the arms larger or something liek that?

[Ronvarone]

Everything is fine, but my eyes are missing

[DeanMalenko]

but again the textures are missing and it makes everything lag because it's so huge... so I'll kill all the areas that I don't need for the specific race track.. still keeps the issue of the missing textures ( model is grey) and I don't really want to retexture all the little things.. it's easy if you have 5 pieces of objects like at the character.. but retexturing a whole city is a pain

[DeanMalenko]

rap the taxture round the herpes?

Nah buddy, I understand you, Great tutorial, I am about to do a Mario-Kart-like racing game with wow characters, their mounts and original sceneries.. now I know how to get the characters right, but what about the mounts? I didn't find all of them in my model viewer.. I lack the chopper ( and of course the awesome goblin-mobil ) and some others.. And I can't really figure out how to import whole cities.. I got the wmd of ironforge and exported it to .obj

[mirokumasta]

thx for the tut, but how do you add the textures using 2011 version? confusing as hell TT.TT

[Creetzor]

i cant find my textures im exactly at the start from this video

cant find the textures

where are they in :O? plz

[HeartStrong4ever]

Hello, question...

When importing textures, some characters have glowing eyes (night elf, blood elf, undead).

How do you apply it, so it's shows as they should. When I add eye textures, they're black with two colored circles.

The geoset is a flat retangle mesh that goes in front of face.

[Z4rifion]

okay everything got fixed but now i finished and when you said and now you have textures, i didn't. I wasn't in wireframes if that's a problem. no clue now

[iwkya1]

hi, i do have a basic UI for 3ds max tutorial in my vids., It shows u all hotkeys that i use

[Z4rifion]

Okay, thank you very much. I wish to learn more about 3d max. I am a lot into animation, but not custom animation.

[Z4rifion]

ugh plz dont use hotkeys! I have no idea how to get to textures : (

I just downloaded 3d max like 30 minutes ago : /

[Z4rifion]

I'm sorry but i stop every like 30 seconds it is very very hard to understand. I am absolutely lost between 1:00 and 1:30

[DaKakis]

Someone should make high poly count characters

[ralusek]

really helpful, thanks for taking the time

[corpse3]

followed this step by step, when i get to the diffusion step, i end up with a grey sphere instead of the texture itself, any suggestions?

[iwkya1]

in the mat browser, there is a little button with the picture of a white and blue cube. Its above your bitmap button. Click it.

[corpse3]

thanks, I figured out what I was doing, I was using a different version of 3ds max and the button was off to the right instead of in queue with yours.

Thanks!

[DavidPitesti]

the texture will show up when you render the model. also you can click the "Show Standard Map in Viewport" button in the Material Editor and you can view the textures without need to render it.

[bradkey98765]

any idea how to get this to work for maya...I can export the model as a .obj from wow model viewer and it makes 2 image files as well.. but i can't get them onto the model...

[PaulandAmy]

Thank you for the tutorial. I already know how to rig to animate. Just wanted to get WoW characters into my 3DS Max as I plan on making a guild movie. Thanks for this oppertunity. 5 stars on part 1 and 2 of the tutorial goes to you :).

[zukuu]

i'm searchin for half an hour now and can't find "bring intouch by list" u usin at around 1:18... can u plz describe where it is and how it's named? ._.

and btw good work and one suggestion: try to turn on the thing that whenever u click with ya mouse, a little red circle appear for a short moment, it helps to track your activitys on ya screen

[godblessers]

BTW you use a lot of hotkeys which not everyone (like me) knows.

[iwkya1]

Hence my basic 3ds max navigation tutorial :) check it out,. Or goto my website.

[vindemac]

My computer dont want to open png files, i mean, it only open other pngs but not those i got from wowmodelviewer

[vindemac]

Nvm, the new wowmodelviwer is bugged i think

[WalterProductions]

DAMN! I can't understand ANYTHING now it's on my nerves, I'm gonna explode, everything is so fucked up lol. WHY do you speak like this? "Ugh, ugh, ugh..."

Is there any other tutorial for WoW models and 3DS here? Possibly in HD?

[iwkya1]

Woo, can you say ungreatful.. HD was put into utube after this vid so HD is not guna happen for my older stuff. There is no other tutorials on wow hybrid 3ds max machinma, and I speak like this because its my accent from where i live. If you have a problem, don't listen- its simple.

[godblessers]

I can't hear anything too.

You can put subtitles though.

[Erthes]

You have posted earlier that the WoWModelViewer has been updated succesfully for Wotlk, i am very interested in knowing what version that is and where you have got it as the latest version i can find is rather bugged and unable to succesfully export textures. Would've used your website but the topics on the forum havent been created yet..

[Asharis]

Hi there, first let me say thanks for the great video :D....before i coudln't even get my character models into 3D max... >,> Anyways....for some reason Warcraft Stuido doesn't work for me...i was wondering if the PNG pictures inside the WoWmodelviewer were copies of the textures of the current model? or if their was some other way i could get the textures for my characters?

[Exaratoz]

This video helped me really much, thanks.

But when I drag the texture on to the model nothing happens. Please answer this time whenever you post or feel like it.

[iwkya1]

When you open the mat editor by pressing M, there is a little blue cube button, press it. The button basically makes the texture visible in the viewport on the object.

[Exaratoz]

I just tried that but it didn't work. The texture doesn't apply to the model.

[MorthusProductions]

Ugh..the textures dont render please help me out:S

[StateCCN]

i no what the problem is, try to select all* body parts, ecept for the hair and armor. once you have all them selected, drag the texture of the skin to your selected objects.

[MorthusProductions]

How do i open the thingy at 1:45.. Texture ''???'' i didnt hear it and you didnt click anything please help

[XtremeMaran]

When I texture my character he just becomes dark blue, what I do wrong?

[nmandov]

nice tut but could speak a bit more clear and loud

[iwkya1]

Thanks, I would speak louder but the sound is fine on mine and many others, try turning ur utube vol up and wav vol. Also, its really clear english so i dunno how to speak any clearer.

[zilfsc]

great vid, I want to see if I can do this with Blender.

WoWmodelview is broken at the moment it seems.

Are you still able to do this?

[iwkya1]

wowmodelviewer is working with wotlk now but with just a few bugs on gnome models but all wotlk content is there.. Ill up some stuff soon.

[PePSiMaX900]

NVM found it :D thanks for the video 17/5!

[PePSiMaX900]

How do you open the texture thing open cant find it :( please help my and Thanks for the video :D

[MorthusProductions]

please tell me too i dont know either:S

[MorthusProductions]

alright now i do.. just press ''m'' lol.. now i need help with the textures, when i do the stuff and place them on them they dont do anything but turn dark grey please help

[iwkya1]

Im ot really familiar in milkshape, i only use it for importing and exporting.

[Alusaint]

do you know how to do multiiple animations in milkshape.

[iwkya1]

Haha, rydal, your comment made me laugh a lot lol, nothing better to start the day :) Do you understand the texture side ? If so then there is many ways to make them move by rigging. I use the 3dsmax biped for wow models.

Vas3a, i got the textures from mywowstudio :)

[Rydal1]

Okei! thx mate :D haha [[^^__^^]]

[Rydal1]

hi, im a noob on this so how do i make them move?:p

[vas3a]

nice man..but i dont understand..where did u get the texture .bmp ? ..anyway 5* for u;)

[iwkya1]

Since exporting wow models from wow is illegal, then wow forums is not the place :)

[Ramzienator]

wow-forums

[iwkya1]

Thanks man, dont seem to see where to post it to get hits, any suggestions..?

[Dragolinem]

Amazing, thats the vid I have been looking for on the net for about the last 8 months? I am not such a genius with 3DS max, but this is the ultimate WoW Model video.

I can't wait for the rig tutorial.
