I added a link that should allow you to download a free 30day eval.

kandalf · Feb 15, 2006, 06:59 PM

Already did that a long time ago. It expired.

I was able to get 3ds max 7 working, but how do I install the plugin? When I try to run the boundshape.max file, it says mimmerse.dlu is missing.

The 3ds max 7 plugins should just be and executable you run, it takes care of everything.

If you have installed it correctly you should be able to export a file in CivilizationIV (*.kf, *.nif) format.

what file do I run?

Im sorry, your right, just copy everything in there into the 3dsmax directory.

kandalf · Feb 15, 2006, 08:13 PM

Do I extract to the 3dsmax7 folder? Or a subfolder? I can't get it to work.

Copy everything in the zip into the c:\3dsmax\ directory. So the Boundshape.max should end up copied into c:\3dsmax\Boundshape.max etc etc.

This is such huge news. Pity I'm a graphics monkey--Give me a million clones of myself and a million years, and I'll make you one helluva model! 8).

BTW, does the plug-in allow you to do encode animation information?

I don't know for sure, Im not a 3d guy. But it includes a lot of scripts for Civ4 that seem to deal with animations. It also allows exports in a *.kf format, which I believe is the animation's. So I believe you can.

Im excited to see what folks more talented than I can come up with.

The only thing I wasn't able to do is I can't find a way to import any of the models that come with the game.

kandalf · Feb 15, 2006, 08:22 PM

Me too. It says invalid format

Yeah, I don't think its possible. 3dsmax exports Nif's in a format Civ4 can use, but its not as high of a version as the current models in Civ4.
