Hey, I was wondering, what tool do I use to make a model for CoD2? I downloaded Milkshape 3D, but then read here that there is no plugin for it. As I thought it might be a little easier make a model with a program instead of creating a "prefab" of a vehicle that I want to put in my map. Thanks, Aussie Fast Bowler

CoD2 or 4? Because you posted this in the CoD4 forum, but are asking about CoD2. Anyway: CoD2: Maya 6.0 CoD4: Maya 7 or 8

Nope. The trial versions don't work for CoD2, afaik, but I might be wrong here, never made models for CoD2.

i think yes. the PLE versions don't work 'cause of the missing plugin support, everything else should be fine. does anybody have a root server for web-based xmodel export (just a simple script is needed to remotely control maya)?

i read the limitations of the PLE versions and got bad news for you: Quote: The Autodesk Maya Personal Learning Edition restricts users to non-commercial applications through the display of a watermark on images as well as through the use of a special non-commercial file format. You cannot write regular Autodesk Maya software files (.ma, .mb); only the Autodesk Maya Personal Learning Edition file format (.mp) can be saved http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=7679012 no way to import .mp files into a commercial Maya. If you can export to OBJ, you might get static models into cod using maya. Wavefront OBJ to IW XMODEL v6 - Converter auhor's page is offline, latest exe i got: xmodel_creator_v0.6.zip important are: * Edges * Normals * UVs * Materials * Triangulate !!! (Xmodel Converter only supports triangles now ... maybe i will implement quads later ...) * Grouping: ObjectGroups blender 3d settings: [CoD4] - New OBJ to Xmodel Converter (download: TOXEC alpha 0.1)
