SDK Tools

This package provides some compiled versions of some of the tools and the 3DS Max 6 plugins from the SDK.

Tools:

bspzip - For packing materials and models into the bsp file
bspzip only runs in the bin directory otherwise you will get a write error.
For tutorials on how to use this command check HL2world.com
xwad - Batch front end to vtex
vice - encrypt/decrypts files
Copy these to your sourcesdk/bin directory

Plugins:

- Note fixed earlier error in UVW generation
smdexp - For exporting smd files from 3dsmax. Supports Character studio and bones pro.
Bones pro from digimation will allow multiple joints per vertex (up to 3)
vtaexp - For exporting vta files. Use the morpher modifer to create vertex animations and use this
exporter to create the vta files used in the vertex animations for speaking/blinking/etc.
Copy these to your 3dsmax6/plugins or 3dsmax7/plugins directory. You also need to copy the files in msdllss to your windows/system32 directory.
