I updated it now. Here it is skinned

Actually I use Blender. Not 3DS Max. I only use 3DS Max for skinning, animating and exporting it as a jms.

Really nice, now just animate it so that the wings open and close when landing and taking off. And then landing pads come out of the bottom, that would be kicka$$.

nice model! can't wait to see it in-game!

KiwiBird · Post by **KiwiBird** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 8:26 pm

I'm planning on making it open and close it's wings. And have it retract landing gear. This will be my first vehilce that I get in-game. I usually do weapons. If anyone here would like to help me animate, that would be great.

Well I made animations and everything but tool doesnt compile the animations. It just says "Animations compressed and saved as 0 bytes" for any animation. Even animations that I know will compile won't. It just won't work.

This is the specific error >

make a box thats the rough shape of the plane for the collision geo. dont make it accurate at all.just a box with extruded edges for the wings. make it the same size as the plane tho

KiwiBird · Post by **KiwiBird** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 3:32 pm

Ok, Iv'e already tired that. Excpet I didn't make it a simple box. I made it a little more detailed. Ill try just a box. Because the other one didnt work.

EDIT: It worked! Now I just need to make the Vehicle tag

actaully for the colllision u could have just selected every single vertex and click the weld button when the thresh hold is 0.1
