Description
Finally it's done! Is a bit much, cause I explain there all steps when I make a mesh mod. Here it's Zexion from Kingdom Hearts.For the mesh mod I used model parts by
I hope this is helpful for you. Maybe only some parts of the tutorial. (I think my english is not the best here x3 )
The parts are:
- Seperate model parts in XnaLara
- Save Model with correct settings
- Import model in 3DS Max
- Edit Model in 3DS Max
- Export to generic_item.mesh.ascii
- Put models parts together
- Rename bone names
- Remove (hide) no needed bones
- Smooth the model
- Fix texture Problems
- Edit textures
- Make bumpmap (not all is explained, take a look at the links below) and lightmaps
- Edit render groups, shininess and textures in the mesh.ascii script

I'm a little confused. Do you actually model your characters?

For MeshMods I use already existing model parts and edit them if needed, to make a new model.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but maybe it's the importer/exporter

So you don't need to do any weight painting like you would have to do in blender? That Sounds too good to be true

Oh, du bist ja von Deutschland, na da kann ich ja auch deutsch schreiben
Klar kann man auch weight paint in 3DS Max machen, is nur in dem Tutorial nicht nötig gewesen.
Soll nur zeigen, wie man ganz einfach 3DS Max noch zusätzlich verwendet um ein MeshMod in XnaLara zu fertigen.
Weight Painting is dann doch eher für Fortgeschrittenere, das sollte hier nicht der Fall sein
Und is ja auch nicht wirklich oft nötig, also zumindest bei mir
Und wie das in Blender abläuft, kein Plan, das benutz ich für gewöhnlich nicht, 3DS Max is mir da lieber xD

Stunning tutorial.
About the Problem "Cannot seperate Hands and legs":
You can do it inside XNALara/XPS
1) Select the bone called "arm left wrist"
2) Toggle from "Rotate" mode to the "Scale" mode
3) Scale the Hand down to 0 %
4-6) Make the same with the right hand
7) Modify-->Save Generic_Item
8) Mark the option "modify armature according the current pose"
Of course ... your way works also fine.

Меня обвинят в том, что я создал кучу аккаунтов - и что я дебил
Я не знаю, имя сменить увы не могу - это стоит очень много point

Um nur den Name zu ändern muss man, glaube ich, Premium-Mitglied sein.

This is so helpful thank you! Since Blender is a headache to me XD but I'm wondering could you do this in Maya too? I'm mostly comfortable with Maya. lol

I use only 3ds max and sometimes blender
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha damn ok thanks. I just thought since 3dsmax and maya are so similar that it could work lol but i tried it and unfortunately maya doesnt open mesh files nor could I find the converter for it. lol

tu mir mal bitte einen gefallen und gewöhn dir an alles in eine nachricht zu schreiben, so sieht das ein bisschen wie spam aus xD
(außerdem muss ich so oft kopieren, ich bin faul 
und wegen deinem juno model musst du wohl jemand anderen fragen, sorry

wenn du den kopf nicht bewegen kannst, liegt das problem vielleicht bei dem model.
versuch es einfach noch mal neu, wenn das nicht funktioniert, weiß ich nicht was du noch machen kannst, sorry ^^
