Can someone tell us of any programs that I can use to model a character for Tron 2.0, including any kind of plugins I would need to make the character playable? What about the map design tools, when will those be made public?

Will there be any exporting tools for programs like 3D Studio Max and Maya for those of us who are 3D modelers/animators?

I vote for a Lightwave exporter

hey nero great to see ya here on the mod fourms, i remember you from the avp2 forums and community, so r u gonna mod us some stuff for tron too or just here for guidance?

Sorry, I sent you a message but Auric's been having problems with his server so the message was deleted. Unfortunately, I don't remember offhand what it was I wanted to talk to you about. If I remember, I'll let you know.

Anyway, you can either create models in DEdit itself or you can import Maya files. Unfortunately, there isn't a plugin for Max.

Multiplayer character models can be made, but the server and all connecting clients must have them installed. Unfortunately, all Lithtech engine games to date including Tron 2.0 handle additional multiplayer characters as a mod. They aren't like Quake or Unreal engine games where having or not having additional multiplayer characters doesn't prevent a client from joining a server.

ok i dont know how much of a help this will really be....

milkshape 3d version 1.6.4 <-- only that version not any version after if... ive got a trial if you want it mail me

anyway v1.6.4 supports importing of .lta files, with the bones inside to make animation easy from within milkshape (or i prefer 3ds max 7 as i can get the circuitry to glow and stuff though the bones dont last the conversion to 3ds)

also blackhaven or blackangel or something like that release a dtx viewer... view the textures and print screen to get them out of the dtx compression.....

so far the only models i can get into a usable format are the multi player models... but that should be enough for you to use as a base to remodel to your own liking....

im gonna spend tomorrow doing 2 things... arranging my knee surgery and getting the games levels into 3ds max....

i might even set up a website where you guys can access this stuff... i could start my own clan or something

/me feels the possibilities to gain a foothold into the modding community... must... gain... foothold..

maybe we can get tron 2.0 back into the limelight... i will continue to petition (ok start to) monolith and buena vista and disney to release something... anything... even something as simple as some decent dev tools (btw if you own avp2 then get the avp2 dev toolkit as all those tools work with tron and are newer... but you have to have the game installed to get the toolkit to install) or a few format converters....

Bah! Thought I'd get lucky there.
