• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Anyway I took the model from the link in Post 49 you posted. It had to be converted to a .BGL by use of MDLC.EXE using /B than Model Converter X would work.

Once you updated and the the model in a BGL fourm import again a small box should come up and click Set.

Once the model loads (it will take some time as the model is over 50,000 polys)

Once loaded you need to remove the LOD it has. Goto the Generate LOD box. (#1) Now click on LOD 6 (#2) and remove it (#3)

Once done you can export is as a .3DS that gMax can import.
 
Command Prompt is pain. In the Start Menu\Programs\Accessories you will find Command Prompt. Make a copy of it. Now paste it in the same folder as MDLC.exe Once done right click on it and go to properties. In the "Start in:" box it should say "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" You want to change this to the folder that has the MDLC.exe. I have mine changed to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 2\Editing tools\mdlc_190_weap" Once the path is change hit apply and close the properties.

Now run Command Prompt shortcut you just edited.

It should look like this.

On your end the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 2\Editing tools\mdlc_190_weap should be the path to your MDLC.exe The name SG_CAUDRON_g4.MDL is too long for DOS so cut it down to g4.MDL. Now what you want to do is type or copy and paste (by mouse) MDLC.exe /B g4.MDL to the Command Prompt window and hit Enter

Now in the folder should be a g4.MDD and g4.bgl. Open the Use Model Conv X to open the g4.bgl
 
My suggestion is to run!:running: That model is :blind:. Trying to cut polys out of the model is like trying to cut the whole amazon forest down by yourself.

It would be better and easier to start a new model from scrach.
