Game import MAXScripts & tools

[StewMM]

@StewMM Strange, it works fine here. Restart max and try again. Let me know if it still doesn't work.

I've got back into this.. and I still can't get the plugin to load some of the car meshes.
Not sure how to explain the bug when nothing happens when you click 'Import Selected'.
If it helps..

I found the 0.8.8 update and it appears to be working now

It works better in max2011 no idea how. I have the same problems in max2014

@TomWin Make sure you have the latest 0.8.8 version.

Don't forget to update the first post with new updates

[Chipicao]

I always do. The first post actually links to a "Latest release" folder" in case I forget

I just finished an import script for Nascar '13 and '14 (PC). Thanks jimjack for bugging me about it and samples/unpacking.
It supports both car and track models with vertex normals, colors, UV1, UV2, UV3, object transformations, hierarchy and instancing.
Materials are applied but only just; no diffuse/specular information or textures. I might get back on this later after I fix texture extraction (read below).



Get the download link in my first post.
Importing the body or interior of a car takes about 1 minute. Tracks take between 5 and 7 minutes because they have thousands of objects.

You'll need aluigi's nascar2011.bms script to extract *.AR archives and then you can import *.ARC files.
aluigi also made a script for ARC files, but I don't recommend using it because the data is actually serialized. It's good for extracting textures, but it needs some modifications for that as well. Read more here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11326

Apologies. It seems the link was not actually updated to version 0.8.8. It's fixed now.

I have re-released the Nascar script under the name Eutechnix Mesh Importer, with support for diffuse, specular and normal maps, and partial support for Auto Club Revolution models.
Textures have to be extracted first using this script: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11326
See the readme file for more information.

With the NASCAR '14 thing, the bms script is not working, it gives an error




Any ideas why?

[Chipicao]

You have to run the script on cdfiles#.dat, not on the .AR archives.

Well, maybe I do something wrong with I3D importer, but I can only import camera and dummies.
Here's the pic:

Which vehicle are you trying to import, and from which game?

[matt55]

Game: Farming Simulator 2013.
Vehicle: Buehrer6135A.
Only traffic cars can be imported without any problems

[Chipicao]

Could you send me the model files via PM?
The one I have works without issues...

Edit: activate viewport statistics (key 7) and see if the number of vertices is 0 or not
The script might be missing mesh faces in your case.

[Chipicao]

Never mind, I see what's going on. The file format has changed with the Titanium edition or one of the new updates.

I've been meaning to re-write a better I3D script, so I guess this is a good opportunity. I'll get back when I have something.
