That's the only one that I have for gmax. I'm not sure, but making characters should be similar, I know there is more to it with characters, but I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help on that.

I'm looking into it a little bit here and there, when I get my map done I will look more seriously.

I recommend you use Modview when creating a custom skin. Modview will map your skin onto a selected 3d model so you can easily check on your progress without loading the game everytime. A real time saver.

Hey Vaughn, i don't know about Gmax, but in 3ds max 4 you need to download a plugin called "XSIImporter" they're both made by discreet so it just might work.

i cant get gmax to run. I chose OpenGl for it to open with, but it didnt like that, and it tells me to open it with the -h command option... how do i do that?

Edit: I got it working, now i just have to fool around with it to figure it out ;P

quick question to anybody listening, with the root.xsi, how do you put it into gmax? it doesnt read it properly

I use milkshape for most of my modelling, it's a 20 dollar reg after 30 days.

Also, I came across a site with a tutorial that will let you make Jedi models with GMax. GMax is a free, stripped down version of 3DS Max.

GMAX can be found at http://www.discreet.com

Milkshape can be found at http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/

its been said before, but what i did, was etracted a folder (models/players/jeditrainer), modified the pictures, changed the names, then put it into a PK3 file, and it worked (after some huffing and puffing)

3d studio max is also a good app to get to make your own custom model.

a good way to start making a custom character, or if you don't know how to use 3ds max, is do a re-skin of an existing model.

To model you will ned a program called Gmax or Milkshape 3D. To find these just do a simple search on the net. To Skin just download Adobe Photoshop v7 from www.adobe.com. To map maps download GTK Radiant latest version for JK2 from www.qeradiant.com. Another program for mapping is JK2 Radiant found in JK2 Tools v1 you can get from www.jediknightii.net under tools section.
