Wall Worm Forums

I figured it out that was the reason Shawn thanks a lot! I'm a typical newbie making newbie mistakes haha I just started using wall worm again so I'm trying to relearn how to do everything again. Thanks a lot for the help I'll make sure to make a donation on my next paycheck, you deserve it.

Jorisceoen I don't believe I did when I select the model using the Wall worm model tool the helper is added automatically like it's supposed to, but thanks for the input. Here's a couple pictures if they would help at all http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/brandons526/library/?sort=3&page=1

I used wall worm successfully in the past but I had to get my computer fixed long story short I had to re-download 3ds max and wall worm. But now when trying to export a model from 3ds into hammer using the wall worm exporter when I try to pick the model and add selection I get a pop-up saying: "some geometry cannot be used (for example, a WWMT helper)," even though I edit the geometry to attach the meshes into polygons which has worked in the past. I haven't used wall worm in a long time so if anyone could help me on this problem I'd appreciate it. Thank you

I tried turning on both options but that didnt seem to do anything. At this point I'm completely stumped :/

I created a 24X24X72 in 3ds max and the size is significantly larger than the fire engine model I'm trying to import.

Increasing the size of the model in 3ds max doesn't increase in size in model viewer. Also the textures get messed up in model viewer.

Correct textures:

Messed up when I import the textures:

Whenever you get the chance to take a look at the problem just let me know. Take your time; and once again thanks for your help.

I sent you a pm regarding this topic; reply to it whenever you get the chance. And earlier today after I sent you the pm I tried using an online converter instead of GIMP to convert the dds files to tga, but the tga files didn't work with 3ds max which has me assuming that my materials must be set up incorrectly. Again your help is appreciated

Originally the textures were .dds files, but I converted to them to .tga with GIMP, but that didn't do anything. The obj. and texture files are kept in one folder. These are the texture files I have now:

The textures don't show up when I export:

And I get this error:

I uninstalled 3ds 2012 and installed 2013 instead and now it will import but how to I import all the textures if it has multiple tga files (sorry I just started doing this), and also my model shows up really small in hammer, do I need to change the size of the model somehow?

That's the error message i get when I try to export.

Btw I didn't edit the obj model at all. I just imported it into 3ds and now I'm trying to export it

I have 3ds max 2012 and i imported a obj. model that i wanted to export into hammer. i followed the steps on how to export via Wallworm but when it tries to export the black screen comes up as normal but it says error trying to open prograx86/steam/steamapps/common/left4dead2/left4dead2/modelsrc/myproject. If anyone can help me with this i would truly appreciate it, thanks
