Texview2 can save paa and pac as tgas. Just change the format to "all files" and then put ".tga" at the end of the filename wink.gif

Dziekibardzo...

I want to convert .paa format BACK to .bmp or .jpg. TexView cant do it. I tried, or missed some easy small stupid part.

EDIT: problem occurred. As always stupid mistake. Sorry for making a mess!

You can convert to tga, which can in turn be converted to a jpg or bmp. I don't think you can directly convert (unless you've got that fancy photoshop gimmick). If you need something to convert tga to jpg try Paint.net (get it here: http://www.getpaint.net/ ).

Does someone know GOOD weapon tutorial for 3DS Max? Most of them are not talking about special tricks, only to create simple model with simple primitives...

That's because tutorials focus on not making it any more complicated than it needs to be. You don't need complicated functions when polygon modeling really is about creating a model with simple primitives and adapting these.

Yeah, but I still have some small things to fix in my head with beginning use of 3DS MAX.

OMG, my biggest-life-problem : How to create (like in Oxygen) a SINGLE point and then how to conncet this points by a face. If somebody will just answer me that, rest will be a peace of cace (of course weapon creation, not MAX)

3DS doesn't work like that. You take standard primitives and mold them into shape. It is possible to create single points and work from there, but it's not recommended (or practical) for game modding, being an entirely different kind of modeling . All the tutorials work pretty much the same way because it's simply the easiest method. The Standard Primitives really are pretty much all you'll ever need.

If my understanding is correct, a primitive is what it says it is a box or a sphere or a cylinder not a single vertex smile.gif

The primitives in 3DS MAX (8) are:

Box
Sphere
Cylinder
Torus (donut shape)
Teapot (was a school project for one of the developers)
Cone
GeoSphere (similar to the Sphere, but easier to map due to a different build-up of polygons)
Tube
Pyramid
Plane

I WAS searching this kind of things and found much great tutorials, in polish, too, but there is still no one about weapons.

I am just looking on about 20 pages tutorial e.g. "How to make a HD MP5A3" and ALL informations from basics to texturing/ Thats all. There is not much tuts like this. If I am asking just for something normal believe me - I can find it, thanx on lua.pl...

It's ModDB. Almost anyone here will be able to confirm that there are no virii there. You should probably switch to different Anti-Virus software if it's saying stuff like that (I know there are a few programs that delete safe files. Sometimes important files too! ohmy.gif ).

OK, now works. I have phobia about viruses, but I turned off Avast! and tried again. Nothing happened, so he just had to get stupid for a while. Hmmm., I had always problems with this site, cause I know it long, but now I am sure its just a anti-vir bug. Thanks guys, and thee is more interesting stuff!

Avast isn't exactly the best choice but that's for the appropriate thread. Glad to see it works.
