First off you need to Download gmax 1.2 from -->HERE<--
then This should be what you need to open .md3 files -->DownLoad Plugin<--
Put that file in gmaxscriptsstartup
To use it Click that hammer icon [utilities]
Click MAXScript and below you should see the option for Q3 MD3 import. Select that and scroll down, Click Import MD3
you can also get other importers for gmax from here http://www.davidhsmi...ntial_Tools.htm
and put them in the same spot
Now you will need an exporter for making this baby!
Download the .md3 specific exporter plugin -->Found here<--. Read the readme's, they are text documents that tell you stuff, see if they are scripts or plugins, if they are a script, put in your scripts folder where you installed gmax, to use go to rollout on right side (if you dont know what that is, stop reading and go through a ton of tuts) then go down to Maxscript, and choose, whatever.
Then make your model, nuff said, skin it, etc
Then choose export, export to the folder that is in the setup in the default Q3 format, make sure your skins are in there, then pack up with a .pk3 with it in the models/players/funstuff folder.
The naming convention is modelname(ponygd) _ team (r or b) _ race (0 = white female, 1 = black female, 2 = white male & 3 = black male) _ tag (0 = does not work with helmet, 1 = works with helmet , 2 = it's for the back). The last two letters of the name are the colours bk = black, bl = blue, dg = dark green, gd = gold, gn = green, ny = navy, or = orange, pk = pink, pp = purple, rd = red, wt = white, and yw = yellow. The name of the ponytail with the gold chopsticks is ponygd_b_0_0.md3 which means it is for blue team's white female without a helmet.
