DMX, SMD and VTA Exporter
Explanation of the DMX, SMD andVTA Exporter packaged with Wall Worm. Use the SMD Exporter or VTA exporter to get your models into Source.
Unknown Bitmap Filetypes Crash VMF Exporter
Do not use bitmap filetypes that Max doesn't know how to read.
Using unknown bitmap types on world geometry and displacements will crash the VMF Exporter. This currently happens if using VTFs in materials in 3ds Max 2013 since there is no VTF plugin yet.
3ds Max Tools
3ds Max Tools that help with game development. All tools have been or are actively used by Wall Worm.
VBSP.exe has stopped working
VBSP can crash if there are no entities or world geometry in your scene.
Brush Materials have incorrect rotation and scale when using the DirectX Shader
The Wall Worm Material Library Generator originally created DirectX Materials for all materials. But updates to the VMF Exporter changed the way materials are interpretted. Whenever possible, you should not use DirectX Materials.
Level of Detail (LOD) Generator & Tools Rollout
The Level of Detail Tools Rollout gives you controls for making LOD models and other LOD-related tools.
VMF Importer
You can use Wall Worm to import a VMF into 3ds Max. This allows you to bring in your Hammer project into 3ds Max.
Bitmaps to Materials
Information on creating substance-driven material libraries and generating tri-planar projection textures without need for UV mapping.
Making Ragdolls in 3ds Max for Source
Making a ragdoll requires you to use the hierarchy tab in the command panel, which may be a new area for less experienced modelers. Watch the video here to get a basic overview of how to make a ragdoll for Source.
