I finally got it all to import to 3ds max, she's really a beauty!

Now I just have to get a good export so I can animate her in poser.

I just am not good at 3ds max yet, so not really able to animate in her yet.

So far I keep getting a very ugly 3ds model when I export, practically turing poor serenity inside out.

Hopefully I will be able to get a solid model in 3ds form so I can import it into poser.

Otherwise I'm goign to actually have to force myself to learn 3ds in a hurry!

Thanks for all your help Biotech, really nice work.

You can import a poser animation into Max in 3ds format, it will be easier to retexture your poser figure, as the map coordinates stay the same, than it will be to get serenity into poser.

But its 4 in the morning here, so I am off to bed belatedly, I'll help you some more tommorow if you need it.

In the mean time, you could always look at the forums in renderosity for advice on how to export from poser to max and visa versa, look in the forums.

Renderosity is where the big images are hosted I posted earlier.

Yeah, it's more my inability to animate in 3ds max as of yet, just not comfoprtable with the program, so I've been trying a few conversion programs to change the 3ds file to an obj that I can import into poser, since I am a whiz animating there.

But I am endeavoring to learn max so I can animate within that program anyway. So we'll see.

I'm hoping.

The model ois really, really nice. Great textures, she's going to be fantastic for the flik. I really appreciate it.

So here I am again - but this time with good news! I've got a brilliant obj version of serenity from your model, she is flying high in poser as we speak.

Only one issue came up, the model is looking for these textures:

top.jpg
plateox2.jpg
fx3_panels_9f.jpg

And I seem to have a few extra textures, roof.jpg and such.

Are any of them what I should be redirecting the model to look for?

Sorry to be such a bother, you've already been a tremendous help.

I should have a nice animation to post soon.

plateox2.jpg & fx3_panels_9f.jpg are both standard textures that come with max, I am surprised top wasnt included, but I can send you it again at the weekend, as I'm not home now.

Yeah, I'm a goob, I found those two jpgs, I also started doing a rework of the textures based on the high quality images I found on the site that Draken posted from all angles, turning out very nice. I'm rendering my first test animation with the firefly effect and engine trails as we speak, I may be able to post it by tomorrow if it turns out.

Thanks.

So did you ever make that animation?

Check out my Blogs - I have links posted in there, but here they are as well - let me know what you think. Some more work to be done smoothing it all out, and getting the "firefly" effect proper.

I am also trying to animate the engine circular ring.

Your model is awesome, I retextured it and think it turned out pretty sweet.
