Hi all,

I was just wondering who among us uses the software 3DS Max to create models and scenery for Mafia, I know there are others who use Cinema 4D, Blender, Zmodeler, etc Smile

I use it most of the time as you may know, particularly when I converted a weapon back in 2012.

Ah okay huckleberry, I knew you used something but for some reason I didn't think it was MAX Smile

I did use ZM1 before, but that was for my gun mod to display properly ingame, along with some muzzle flash fix tool whose name I forgot.

Yeah I have to do that sometimes as Mr. F's 4DS export script doesn't always work, and I find that many model problems often appear in the transition from program to game anyway.

And I am still waiting for the 4DS format to be thoroughly studied as well. Sure enough, you can get away with re-texturing Tommy, but custom peds for Mafia 1 are long overdue.

I agree, custom human models is a really interesting one - modelling and rigging the same as the Illusion Softworks NPC models doesn't seem to be an issue, but upon export it all goes horribly wrong. I guess one would need the .4ds format to be completely cracked before you were able to perfect a '.4ds exporter' capable of human models. Have you seen Djbozkosz' .4ds specification by the way? (You might need CZ Google Translate for the latter parts)

Lol do you have any examples of bungled up ped mods? I'm still itching for a custom character or two you know. Wink
