AoM: The Titans |
This Guide was written in response to a request by EmjeR for a step by step guide to create a simple house model for AoM (see the Modding Discussion Thread). It was the most sensible request I had heard so "here it is". At 31 pages with diagrams, it is very much a step by step guide and I hope it achieves its objective of helping people create their first model. If it does I may even add to it!
The download also includes a copy of GMAXEXP.exe and the import and export scripts. If you have already installed this mod, just ignore these files.
To install create a new folder for your modelling and move the files into it. The guide is in PDF format, and require Acrobar Reader. This can be downloaded from the Internet. |

This is by far the most useful guide I have ever read. Your guide to modding was really helpful just converting everything, which is really the only thing most modders have problems with. I've always wanted to make a new model, and you are my hero :D That's probably the main goal of most modders actually...
Additional Comments:
You are my new best AoMH buddy along with Donut3500 :P
One question...
Do you have to Attach all four main walls to the windows, doors, and the roof as well? Or can they be separate objects?[Edited on 04/28/08 @ 06:19 PM]

PS I have one more problem, I imported a model, then cloned it about seven times, and created a circle and had the clones and imported model surround the circle. I then textured the circle, and attached everything (as well as the anchor point) and exported it. But then when I Direct File Conversioned it an error came up talking about materials... What did I do wrong?

Oh, and I really think someone should make a huge modelling guide, with all the advanced stuff. Not Stephen Caines, you've helped us so much already we want you to rest :D. I don't doubt you could do it though :D.[Edited on 04/29/08 @ 04:27 PM]

@Newb27 - sounds as though the material you dragged onto the new model wasn't the same as the original - this can happen sometimes if you end with with lots of the same material (eg. MTRL 1 = fred, MTRL 2 = fred ....) or one one part of the model you accidentally dragged a lower level of the material. This is why I made such a big deal over having the Entire material limited to just the imported material and the new one. Otherwise there are just too many ways it could go wrong. I suggest you change the name of your input texture (the stretched .bmp,)go back into gmax, texture the whole model again dragging the new copy from the File System. Make sure that this is the only material associated with your model, then drag the original material. If you have multiple copies of the original material - create a new gmax file and import the original base model, and run the export script, then merge in the the model and when prompted select use scene material. This should clear it up and give a model mapped to the original material.[Edited on 04/30/08 @ 06:11 AM]
