Actually Yes there is a couple things you maybe able to help me with, (1) is when I convert a Max file to 3ds then 3ds2vxl, during the 3ds2vxl process it tells me there is, for instance- 123 meshes and 123 Hierarchy. What do I need to do to make it all 1 mesh or cant you do that? (2) Is there a plugin or script or something else I need to make some good explosion anims w/ Max?

@Vef, this is more of a WWII era type bulldozer.

Well, unfortunately those are the things I want to know too someday...

Looks great! Some options you can think of adding are things such as dirt and mud splots, it is a tractor afterall. Of course if this is going to go to voxel just ignore what I just said. It would just make the voxel looks bad.

IMO it should be wider, but it looks great as is Smile

you can make it all one mesh but why would you want to do that? 3ds2vxl will not make the meshes into seperate vxl sections unless they are animated as far as i recall.

To make several meshes into one: Select a mesh and go Edit Poly as seen below in the pic, from there with the centered mesh selected click the attach tool in the Edit Geometry rollout, now select the box and they will become one.

When all is done, be sure to go into Hierarchy and center the pivot with the settings in the other pic below.

Almost forgot, here's some old but usable explosion tutorials tat require little to no mes creation in 3ds max.

For the last one, you can ignore the blast wave part and should maybe cut down on the debris.
