Nik´s SA Conversions, BMW Z8 RELEASED.

Well the first part is easy,the second is impossible for now.Anyways you can get the TDU models only by ripping with 3DRipper,you will get the mesh and the textures in DDS format,and you have to modify and retexture the model in MAX,after that you can export in 3ds format so you can get it in ZM1 or ZM2.
Anyways a TDU package hacker is in work by Vagos and Krom, http://reg.3dactionplanet.gamespy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4518 .

I haven't 3dsMax and it's a very expansive program, so I think that i can't do this

you can have the 30 day trial (or download it with torrent)

I had the 30 day trial... But I couldn't open max files

I can download a new 30 day trial about another version, and use it on my dad's computer... Or on another hard disk... I'll see

Mhh, please, can you tell me how to jump from a file into 3ds Max to Zmodeler ? Cause I have already one very beautiful car in 3ds format, that I can import into 3ds Max, but I don't know how to export it into a format who can be opened by Zmod

And so, I prefer export the car in Zmodeler and put the textures on with zmodeler, it's more easy than texture with 3ds Max. But if I just have to add the textures into the materials (if uv mapping is still active) I prefer do this with Max..

As I said : I'll see

Well,to get it in Zmod just export the file from Max in .3ds format,import in Zm1,and save,and then import the old .z3d format file into Zm2,I usually do it like this,cause the .3ds plugin from Zm1 is much better than the the one from Zm2,and if you had the mapping done in Max,it will be preserved in Zmod too.

But sometimes 3dsm make bad detaches when u iexport to 3ds
Maybe try to export to dff with 3dsmax (u need special plug in) and import to zmod, i tryed that long time ago and hadnt normals problem.

It works that way MM just need to fix the axis in zmod1 before trying to open it in Zmod2.

When I import into 3ds format in Zmod 1, I lost the normals ! But I don't know how to export from 3ds Max into dff. Anyone can explain me ? Thx

I don't know how to use Max, I prefer texture into zmod

You will need Kam´s Script for that.

Some details ? Where to download it, how to install... It would be great if you can explain this

I have no idea where you can download it and it will import Sa dff, cos you can already wideout kams´import VC DFF....There is also a way to get it in max, Do a VC dff.

Here's a tutorial for converting cars to SA in Gmax,and a video tut for converting with Max.
