decided to take a day of the tutorial making so i could finalize the material tree for part 3 of the series :) the result of that part is the following image. Hope you like it.

http://citadel-consortium.com/downloads/Brutix_01.jpeg

If you look close at the background you can see that there is 3 shades of light falling on the model. if you followed part 2 you will see what i mean :) This model is rendered in the scene we build there.

Also i want to know how usefull you all would find a video tutorial on this stuff.
if you want it i can actually make one when my voice is doing a bit better :)

Edit 23:04 just noticing how dark the render actually looks. Ill lower the shutterspeed a bit and increase the light strength.

Ok, recent work:

http://rocwieler.com/2013/12/20/new-rig-recipe/

Has a flat image and a 30 second animation.

Every texture is 100% from ingame. Refined and rendered in C4D. My style is a little more grunge, a little less shine. The New Eden I know is a dark, harsh place.

Will be continuing my Eve Online in C4D series in 2014.

Never start a fight you can win.

Sorry for the huge delay. But due to some RL and corp stuff i was unable to finish part 3 of the tutorial. I am in the middle of putting it all down right now so the link will follow soon.

Due to time issue Part 3.1 is done:

http://www.citadel-consortium.com/tutorials/eve-to-3ds-max/6-part-3-importing-of-the-model-and-starting-on-the-material

Part 3.2 will come tomorrow.

I tried two versions of granny.dll and TriExporter is not working. It goes not responsive on every major ship model (amarr, minmatar... etc). Only ones i was able to load are stargates, jove ships, wrecks and similiar but none of major races ships can be loaded.

I did one video with exported models via TriExporter like two years ago, but i guess new patches messed it up.

I know it`s a long forum item with lots of pages .. but... here we go again Blink

copied from an earlyer post:
Do you use the latest granny file (and the latest TriExporter)?

Download TriExporter from here : http://triexporter.codeplex.com/releases/view/92412
And granny from here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?granny2

There is no easy way.

Thank you for your reply. I was using older TriExporter.exe but this file i've downloaded from your links is behaving the same.
I tried to open first amarr battlecruiser (abc1_t1.gr2) and get "TriExporter has stopped working".

Take a look at my tutorial links. There is a up2date version of triexporter and the granny.dll file linked on the first part.

To be exact it is this link to the triexporter package. http://citadel-consortium.com/downloads/TriExporter_2009.rar

Hope it helps.

On another note. I have been extremly busy in real life and inside the game witu stuff making it really hard for me to finish the tutorial series. Im doing my best to make the next part.

I can't seem to get this to work. I used it back in 2011 and it went fine, but trying to do it now does nothing.

I have the latest versions of TriExporter and Granny2.dll, it opens fine, I found the EVE folder fine, all of the files are there. However, when I try to open a .gr2 file, for example, nothing happens. It doesn't open in the blue screen, Export model is still greyed out, literally nothing happens. There isn't even a "model not found" or "WTF" error.

If I try and open the .black files, I get "WTF", so atleast that's working.

Any ideas?

Use my links a few posts up, that should work just fine. Put them in the same folder. The .black files need to be unstuffed and converted using black2json so you can read the json file with a txt editor. Good luck.

Just too bad the tutorial site is down :(

There is no easy way.

Same problem I'm afraid. I can't do anything with the .gr2 files...

Also, if it makes any difference, TriExporter always stops responding when I close it.
