Can 3ds 2009 rig skeletons as well?

[robertward203]

originally i intended to create the whole thing with 2011, but i can't get enough support for it since it's still relatively new. So i'm going to try and rig it in the 2009 version instead, will it work though? because i heard that some modeling programs can't support the animations that are related to rigging.

 

And if you ever happen to find this post ghogiel, what version do you use?

[Ghogiel]

I mostly use 2009.

 

I only ever animate in Max8 as the civ4 plugin is very useful for animation export.

I will start to make things for fallout 3 soon, but i use max 2011. Whats the problem with its rigging?

As far as I know, 3ds Max 2011 does have nif support(though unofficial)

hhmm, this works only for 64 bits.

Ive found another solution which is to install blender and export the nif files to a 3ds max file, then later import it back to nif with blender.
