S2 HoN 3DS Max Exporter

[MaxGhost]

Question... which folder in HON should I put this to? or if no need, how do I open the file?

What do you mean? The plug-in, or the exported .model files that the exporter created?

[Jaycoob]

to be clear, how do I use this?

I thought the exporter we use for Savage XR worked for HoN as well. If it does then it works with max9 I think.

[Maysh]

My guess is once the SDK is released, they'll release a newer version. I think the reason they released this one is because S2's modelers use max 8.

[Yurixy]

max 8 = max 2009 ?

[MaxGhost]

max 8 = max 2009 ?

No I think 3ds max 8 was built in 2005. 3ds max 2010 was actually released in April of 2009 (from wikipedia).

you need to map this plugin to 3ds Max 8,
in the menu bar go to
Customize> configure user paths > 3rd party plugins> add>

-select the s2exporter from where every you have it saved. Then just reset 3ds
Max.

-Go to the utilities panel, in the More Tab you will find the s2exporter there.

hope this is helpful.

You can be even more helpful if you give us a Max 2010 version

Freezes during export
Any idea what bones are needed/not needed, as using daz3d there is alot of bones
And what i do is create in daz3d then export as obj into 3ds max 8.

The bones are named "_bone_name" replace "name" with the name of the bone.

For a better reference you can take a look at the model viewer from the Savage 2 map editor.

Hum I don't know what you want to use the model viewer for, but I think you will get better result to see the bones using HoN. You can use 'vid_drawbones "true";vid_drawbonenames "true";' while in a practice game and use freelook to get a good view of your models bones (you can also use 'vid_drawMeshes "false"' to have a better views of the bones).

Here is the result.
