Is it possible to turn JKA models and use them in BF2?
I want to use These models for a courscant map
BTW If it is possible, can someone tell me how to do so....

thats what i did with asajj, its originally neomarzs model since me and him know eachother he said i could use it since im too lazy to make her myself but i might do it cause i want to make her in some alternate looks. theres no tut on it, me and teancum just tried it and it happened to work

Yeah, Mini is the model guy, and then I got her in game and did all the ODF and force power work. Hopefully we'll have something for the community soon.

Hahah sweet! Those would be good "locals" for coruscant!

yeah, I wanted to make a order 66 map...

Kewl I thought the polys might be too high, but hey if they work that will rock!! :eobi:

Mini said:". theres no tut on it, me and teancum just tried it and it happened to work "

ok but how?? u opened the *pk3 file or other thing?? with wich thing u opened it, the zero editor??

well u can re-name the pk3 file to a zip (example - Jedi.pk3, switch pk3 to zip and it becomes a zip file) but then u have to open it up - convert the 3D files and be able to export as a msh file, which u can't do unless u have XSI foundations or higher, but there is a msh exporter for xsi mod-tools come-in out, (XSI Mod-Tools is a free version you can download)

Let me just say this is not for anyone bug Advanced users. It involves rigging a model to a skeleton. If you're unawere how to even start that, get acquinted with it.

Essentially he opened up the PK3, (it reads the same as a zip) extracted the files, imported the glm into 3dsMax, exported so he could get it into XSI, rigged the model in XSI and exported.

Teancum,
This is excellent news! I talked to Qdin a few days ago and suggested contacting the guys at Polycount to see if they would be interested in converting or letting someone here convert their player models for SWBF1 or 2. They have some really nice Mandalorian models there as well I was really pleased with the quality of their models when I played JO/JA.

How to "import glm to 3dsMax"? Can you do this with the neomarz com cody? from ultima clones.

@ Assasin_Clone -- yes, it is possible. You just need to find a person who has the knowledge, the tools and the skill. I've already got Minilogoguy18 working on another project, plus he has his own, so we shouldn't bother him with more to convert until he has these done. We don't want to burden him.

Yeah, I have the tools for JA but don´t have XSI(too expensive). But anyway, thanks Teancum!

yeah and you really shouldnt go converting others models without there consent, most modellers like my self find it kinda rude that someone takes it and converts and slaps thier name on it. i converted marzs' asajj because he said i could and i knew how to convert it because i also know how to do playermodels for JA so i know how to rig and also animate a model. like teancum said, im far too busy to do it for someone, its pretty simple to learn though, theres a tutorial on softimage.com on how to use the wieght painter panel and just download the unit_template.emdl from psych0freds forum.

minilogoguy18,
Thanks and yes I agree about converting the models without consent. I emailed Tim about his Mandalorians, but never got a response guess he's busy.

Very nice that JA models can be imported. Someone should definately contact kman http://lucasfiles.com/?s=&action=file&id=527 to use his plo koon model and hapslash for obi-wan. Not sure if toonces or aaron smith are reachable anymore but their models such as qui-gon, shaak ti, quinlan vos and saesee tiin would be great to have.

I know you'd need permission, but i was kinda curious how ya' did it...

I'd like to see Neo Marz's Shaak Ti and Adi Gallia models converted. Adi Gallia could just be renamed Stass Allie and Mazda can use it for his Saleucami map.

i think im only gonna convert 1 more JA model and thats it because the polycount on the is too high and using the polygon reducer can only go so far without messing up the model. that model is the quigon jinn model for teancum for helping me with getting asajj in game, casue she even has her fair amount of problems, its just easier to make a model from scratch.

Ok so you guys actually had some luck with Asajji?

Someone posted a link to a huge collection of JKA clone models and I was excited in hopes of some more good clone models that could possibly be imported... I seem to have lost that link, anyone link me to that collection that I thought was in the Clone Wars Realism mod topic, but I can't seem to find anymore...
