Old md5 plugin

Does anyone have an older version of the md5 plugin for max?
The one I have now does some weird stuff to the models so when I import them into my engine they don't work anymore. Before it was flawless

hm, I have no idea what is happening now but when I open a L2 model in max and then export to .fbx and then into my engine it pops up a new error saying that there are to many bones per sub-object.
Before I could import any model into my engine and it didn't complain anything. I wonder if the md5 importer has done any change to models when it comes to sub-objects etc

Ok here is the reason why I started this thread:
I have a engine called gamecore that can import fbx with animations directly. There has never been any problem when exporting from max and opening in gamecore.
Recently I updated max from max 2008 to max 2009, I also updated fbx exporter etc.
Now, when I export a md5 model from max to fbx I get alot of errors in gamecore.
After this I ran max 2008 again, alot of different fbx exporters etc. I also tried the old md5 import script in max because maybe it was strange. But still all error occur.
I have tried basically everything but still get error in gamecore.
BUT, the strange thing is if I export old models to fbx gamecore accept without problem. This I think exclude max and fbx exporter, because they work. It also excludes md5 plugin because I get same error no matter if I use old or new script.
I believe something has happened in newer umodel converter.
The error I am getting in gamecore is like this
"you have to many bones per sub-object. You can max have 60 bones per sub-object."
I know that md5 meshes basically is one mesh instead of sub-meshes. Could this be the problem and has it changed since before?

Sometimes people named "submeshes" a part of model with a different mapped material.
It looks like your problem is with game engine limitations.
UE3 have (almost) no limitations for bone counts.

does someone know how to break up a model in sub-meshes and keep bones? I think my engine wants the different parts not one part like the md5 keeps it now.

Yeah, in Maya you do what's called an "extract" (Polygons -> Mesh -> Extract) it will break up the mesh in many other parts. then you can use "combine" (Polygons -> Mesh -> Combine) to at the parts together. Make sure that you Freeze transformation and delete history when done. Rename Mesh when done if you wish. I hope that helps ..:: ESR911::.. |
