sorry i keep saying glow, i mean light maps, come on guys ur both on msn so please post the max your using, im using 5.1 and when i export it just ignores the fact i have even applied a map to self illumination and only cares about diffuse.

also the sod exporter is avaliable everywhere, i currently use the 4.0 for max 5... animations are easy, infect their terribley easy, u do the animation in max using key frames, when you export it the animation is maintained then you tell armada in the .odf if it should use it or not and how many times.. the shuttles you see around the stations are all just animations hence why stations dont have does that open and close cuz it would do it constnatly otherwise, same goes for the shipyards and so on

Hi, thanks for the info, tho i was after the importer, but don't worry bout it, if it's as simple as you say it is i shouldn't need it.

One more thing, where do i find the odf that controles animation (for example on all the time or only one when building?) in the stock A2.

Thanks

Hmmm, Using max 7 myself, was also looking for a sod exporter (mainly because I have yet to find a Luna (AKA Titan) class that looks and animates nicely, but doesn't strangle my system (maybe as a more viable replacement for the (IMHO) useless galaxy of FO 3.0?  :sweatdrop: ) )  enough nested parenthesis?

Incidently, have to add kudos. The first time I fired up FO, I blinked and asked myself "WTF are all those lil things flying around my bases?" "OMG, little bittie shuttles, way to go realism!"
