EBM/ECH Import/Export scripts for 3ds Max

[toast2250]

Thank you so much for the script!
I worked in SolidEdge before so I managed to make a simple black box. :tongue:

So, here it is,.. behold, a black box weapon.
I will make a video guide on how to make a simple box and other things that I may learn along the road shortly.

Basic guide:

Any one knows how to add/export (unwrap) the textures correctly, like the existing .dds ones that are in the ebm files?

@toast2250 Are you asking how to edit the UV coordinates of a mesh?

 

[toast2250]

I managed to create a sword and a ball from scratch with the existing textures from google applied. But every time I create a simple box from scratch and then Unwrap the UVW it then does not display properly in the ebm viewer.

Custom sword and ball with existing textures,


I simply cant make the damn box to show the texture correctly,


Here are the files (max, dds, psd, ebm) if anyone wants to fiddle with, :tongue:

EBM's only support per-vertex UV's. You're trying to export a model that contains different vertex UV's for each face, even when they use the same vertices. You can get around this by duplicating the vertices at each corner.

@toast2250 Any progress?

I managed somehow, thx for the help.

I recreated the box and the sphere/ball from scratch with the existing textures. I don't know if this is the right way to do it (im still clumsy), but it looks really well and the end result is exactly the same if not better as seen in the sphere unwraping UV.

Box making,


Sphere making,


Thx so much for the script. Its a lot of fun in making 3d models, especially if they can be used ingame.
I will try to make something interesting in my free time now that I know some basics.

I finally managed to animate a simple model properly. The last few days have been intense getting there. : P

I had to edit it in a poly and then add the mesh. I also had to reopen&resave the file for some reason, otherwise it would not animate ingame. ?.?

Also, moving the objects Mesh<->Skin as a whole can be tricky.
(If you use this as a guide, Ignore 9:15 to 15:40 when I start moving the butterfly, I messed up the possition and restored it minutes later back to the center. You will see why.)

Nonetheless, behold! (19:30 Ingame butterfly)

Anyone else had any success or failures with these scripts? I'd like to see if anyone's made anything, yet.

Help me
I am after editing save appear such mistakes: unknown：“modifiers”lie undefined

 

[lqy1471]

Thank you, the problem has been solved

 

[estsoft]

Like I said in a previous post, you need to use per-vertex UV's, not per-face UV's. Also, convert your model from using quads to triangles before you export.
