Will the 3D Studio Max plugins found in the rftoolkit work on any version other than 4.x? |

I believe this question has already been asked  .
I am afraid the Plugins only work on 3D max Studio versions 4 & 5. You will have to get your hands on a Trial version or buy the full version, If you can . |

I have been asked to post so Link Master may post again and not have this thread fade into obscurity. |

Erm... thanks. lol
I have a new question. Is there any way at all to take a mesh from 3D Studio Max and export it in a way that it can be loaded or imported to RED? Basically, the whole point to all of this, the reason I've been downloading all these programs, is so I could extract the geometry of certain levels in games, and load them into RED as brushwork.
If I'm not able to do this, then all is lost...  |

Well... You can, but they will most likely have a ton of faces and mabye a few holes... nevertheless;
You must export through the .V3D exporter included in the rftoolkit. You must then run them through Ccrunch which i use a batch file for.
ccrunch.exe <filename>.v3d
Make a batch file containing that information.
Also, make sure ccrunch.exe (also found in rftoolkit) is in the same folder as the batch file, Also that the .V3D file is also in this same folder.
You will end up with a .V3M file if no errors occured.
This V3M file must be added to your meshes.vpp found in your main RF directory. NOTE: Modifing game files is usually not a good idea, but as this new file will not have the same filename as any default RF meshes, its not a problem, but you may back it up if you wish.
After this is done, Open RED. Under Brush Mode, Under Brush Type, select "Mesh". Click load and browse to your .V3M file. (You will have to let RED see all files, not just V3Ds when youre browsing) Click Open/Load (I dont have it in front of me) and your builder brush (the blue one) should be shaped as your mesh now...
There you go, thats all you need  |

| Quoting TSpectre | There's no way that many faces will ever work on a single brush... especially in RED.  |
There are limits for meshes in RF. But you can always split up the meshes into many parts.
Such as on this screenshot:
I'm still very proud of it 
hmm I just realised that I put her in a cage. CENSORED was I thinking, and what were you thinking? It was no offense. sorry  (it was only meant to be a gameplay feature :S)
