Importing 3DS meshes into 3D Gamestudio A7

A screencast demonstrating the best way to optimise a 3DS Mesh and import it correcly into 3D Gamestudio with extra tips too.

Please note, that this video does not note that prior to exporting in Max, make sure your x,y, z coordinates of the model are 0,0,0, if not the mesh may have pivot centre problems in Med.

Crofton Graphics is currently developing more screencasts-

I am developing a number of screencasts to help others gain from my experiences and pitfalls of past projects.

This screencast at low compression and 1024x768 resolution can be purchased for a small amount. Purchasing methods will soon be on my site.

If you feel that this tutorial helped you please comment and rate or a small donation would be put to good use!

Save lots of time, dont fall into snake pits! Have a look at my tutorials!

Hi, it is mostly possible, you can search on the 3d gamestudio forums.

can you make meshes in games studio?

[CroftonGraphics5]

Yes but you would be better to make them in another package as the modelling package isnt that great. Ie 3ds max or the free Blender programme would be fine.

Hi,

Low Poly is always changing with technology I guess, then there is low poly for games on your pc or phone etc. All different.

A Guide I use is on turbosquid for game ready submisions.

I measure with amount of vertices ans faces, in max right click on to properties. A good guide if these are similar then your model is fairly 'clean'.

hey Crofton, Torque has been Iced...Ice Cubed. This thing was a real nightmare. I do like the Interface-IDE but the coding and programming is awful. Truevision 3D was okay but a little bit better than Torque. But ahhhhhhhhhh!! :)

I'm back with 3D Game Studio and I'm slowly and finally getting it. Sticking and hanging in there with it and the Lite C. Every language, game engine, authoring tool have their own glitches, pecularities, etc. Besides I miss coding in Lite C. :)

Sure these game engines come and go, stop and start etc. For me 3D Gamestudio is nice from the environment creation/art point of view, it enables shaders and the viewer to walk around/interact. If thats ok and the FPS is ok for me, Im fine!

That game engine really reads .3ds files? Wow, quite impressive...

Please leave me message where there are lots of tutorials for gamestudio or the name of the book I could get that explains the editors not just coding.

Need tutorials want to learn this program bad. Tutorial links please there's barely any on YouTube.
