So in game, both models would have hair. On June 24 2010 16:12 selboN wrote: Did you do that in 3DS? yeah 3ds max updated the pics with textures by the way! | ||

Graphics Cards usually prefer to render in triangles regardless of what flags you set. Even if you set the GL_QUADS flag for example (pretty sure SC2 uses OpenGL), the graphics card may render 2 triangles to create that quad. Vertex buffer objects or batching, means that rendering a bunch of vertices should be pretty fast anyway. If it lags, I would just focus on removing as many vertices as possible and have 2 versions, pretty sure the map editor allows for a low poly and high poly model depending on the settings the player sets. But yeah don't unless it becomes a huge performance hit.  | ||

The wc3 imports are very nice though, there's just something about the zergling and hydra animation that works nicely (wc3 zergling especially) | ||

I combined the head with the body and re rigged it perfectly so all the animations work and everything. However, i get an error exporting it form 3ds max. Its either something dumb i did or the exporter which is in its early stage is messing up. I hope i can figure it out soon to finally use it in-game. If anyone knows how to get past m3 exporter errors please let me know! | ||

Finally i was able to get it in-game, but unfortunately there is apparently no way to export animations yet(let me know if there is) so i only have it as a doodad for now. | ||
