How to make or edit .c3 files

Knight^Hawk · 04/14/2010, 02:27

hey guys i found this on elite today hope ya like it XD

Things needed:

- 3ds Max 5/7 (I recommend 7 tho) Do NOT ask me for it's download link 'cause I'm unable to put it on E*PvPers (warez shet etc.)
- 3ds .c3 plugins - Attached to a thread
- 3d model

1. Plugins installation

I bet you have 3ds Max installed by now, open previously downloaded folder "Plugins" and you should've see 2 folders and 2 files: 5.0, 7.0, KeyTools and KeyTools_cn

a) In case you've got 3ds Max 5 installed, open "5.0" folder, copy "C3_CORE_DLL.dll" file to your 3ds Max 5 Folder, ex. "C:/Program Files/3ds Max/<put file here>"
b) In case you've got 3ds Max 7 installed, open "7.0" folder, copy "C3_CORE_DLL.dll" file to your 3ds Max 7 Folder, ex. "C:/Program Files/3ds Max/<put file here>"

Afterwards...

a) In case you've got 3ds Max 5 installed, open "5.0" folder, copy "C3_Exp.dle" file to your 3ds Max 5 plugins folder, ex. "C:/Program Files/3ds Max/plugins/<put file here>"
b) In case you've got 3ds Max 7 installed, open "7.0" folder, copy "C3_Exp.dle" file to your 3ds Max 7 plugins folder, ex. "C:/Program Files/3ds Max/plugins/<put file here>"

Afterwards...

Go back to "Plugins" folder (downloaded from this thread) and copy "KeyTools" and "KeyTools_cn" files and paste them in your 3ds Max 5/7 scripts folder, ex. C:/Program Files/3ds Max/scripts/<put file here>

Open your 3ds now and let plugins install properly...

I don't understand. Your post is smaller then his and all yours says is how to install the plugin not make or edit .c3 files like your title says.

While we are on the subject of your title, it's very misleading. Not only do you not show how to make a c3 file (the original thread does) you also say that you are able to edit c3 files which cannot be done using this plugin.

Also as jajec said in his guide, the plugin on making c3 files has been around for years. He was just one to make a nice guide for it.
