how to convert LithTech model into 3ds max?

[knifelemon]

hello all

I found one of the posts in the forum.
- viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7230

However, the post is too old....
i can't get the file and I can not get the information want.

I found one a way.
How is this.
(ex game : sudden attack)
ak47.ltb to ak47.lta - > lta open into modeledit -> Remove all attributes(Animations, Socket, Pieces .... any) - > compile to ltb -> ltb to x -> import 3ds max

but this method is very LowPolygon and the UV does not apply.

i need your help

[shakotay2]

did you have a closer look at the *.ltb?

Here's bruno.ltb in hex2obj:

Should not be too hard to make an ltb maxscript importer with some basic ms knowledge.
But bruno.ltb is from 2006.

i dont know how to use 'hex2obj'

i find your post viewtopic.php?f=16&t=11819

you can tell me how to use that?

please be more specific.
(Do you have basic knowledges in maxscripting?)

First of all we would need the model format of your ltb. Should not be too hard to find that out.

Maybe it's the same as with bruno: Vertex block size:44,
vertices: floats
(little endian)

i find that

and what should I do?

first of all use another adjustment for your hexeditor.
Display data from offsets 00 to 0F (16 bytes per row).

(Your choice is not very useful.)

in hex2obj with the 000.ltb loaded:

- toggle the noPtC button to PtCld
- enter a VBsize of 44 (step 2).
- under 'step 3' enter 0x21879 as a vertex start address

Then try to get a decent point cloud by pressing 'mesh' and changing
the (vertex) count from 500 to greater (or less) sizes.

thx but obj is seen only vertex..

why does this phenomenon appear?

[shakotay2]

thx but obj is seen only vertex..

why does this phenomenon appear?

because it's a point cloud.
As the name tells: a "cloud" of points without faces.

The next step would be to search for the face indices which determine how the vertices to be connected to faces
(triangles in most cases).

Press the tut(orial) button, do the contained example to understand
"how to find face indices".

(Usually this is the first step but sometimes it makes sense to search for point clouds first.)

um...

i did not understand any more.

it's so hard!

[shakotay2]

if you sent me 000.ltb I could have a look at.

ok..
thank you shakotay2 !

lol

it's have only the body?

head , leg ... other Everything not have?

[shakotay2]

learn, search, try
