Geonox Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I've got a new computer so I had to re-install everything. Also 3d Max. I've lost my Nif import plugin and I've searched on the web for the plugin but I couldn't find it anymore. Does anyone got the plugin for me?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSlayer Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I also have this problem with 3dsMAX 6. Apparantly there are no plug-ins for 3dsMAX 6 that can inport/export .NIF files. But if you have Vversions 3-5 there are several plug-ins for .NIF files...but i don't know ehre they are try looking for them on google or on the discreet website.

DoInK Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 i found it here on this russian site. and 3d max 6 will never support nif. it's too outdated a format.it would be real nice if those bums at PolyTrans made a converter, seeing as that's all they do...

BlackSlayer Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ok finally some one with enough braincells to answer people's posts! Thank you oh great master! lol . Ok since im obiously not getting the plug-in where do you think I can Download 3dsMAX 4 Trail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 You can't. Only 3dsmax6 is available in a legal demo form. Discreet has no reason to go through the trouble of releasing and hosting a demo of an obsolete version. In fact, it would be against their best interest, since it would present a bad image of the current version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Find a Book called "3ds max 5 Bible" by Kelly L. Murdock. It comes with a cd that has a 30day trial of 3ds max. It's about $50 US. Some of the Other 3ds max books come with trial versions as well. You may be able to order it from thier website www.wiley.comFair warning it installs c-dilla copy protection/liscence management software to enforce the 30day trial. And it leaves tracks behind a standard re-format (full not quick!) won't get rid of. I found out when on day 7 or so my system had one of those re-install type crashes that trashed some critical files and had to re-do windows. The re-installed 3dsmax 5 trial insisted a previous install had been detected and it needed an authorization code to continue. Mycroft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Gak forgott a couple things, firstly a max5 plugin does exist, no need to drop back to 4, I know the nif exporter for freedom force works for tes:cs. I think you have to avoid a setting FF allows or set one that is optional in ff, not shure. google a bit. Also IIRC nif wasn't a discreet format, but rather a format for a particular game engine (netfusion?) and that company is the one to harass^h^h^h^h^h beg for a max6 exporter, and an importer for 3-6 would be nice also. Speaking of importers there was a beta importer done by someone (in germany IIRC) that tended to crash max sometimes, and didn't import textures, just raw geometry. But I can't recall where I saw it. Very unofficial as well. Mycroft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSlayer Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Thank you this helps me a lot. Where can I get Freedom Force? and if any of you even say "google it" I will brake your head in to two! I might also need the plugin for FF or is it Hard coded into the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
