Yo, very easy edit for any modeler that has even remotely newb skills.

Take the lovely Holly's chainsaw (texas chainsaw massacre):

and then thank you a short time later :)

Btw, to anyone who does this, I'd be happy to host files or pics for you as a favor in return if you so desire. Thanks guys I really am clueless with models right now.

I dunno if it's what you want, but did you see the tree model I released that was blown apart in the middle?

cheeto, link me, that'd be sweet.

But yes, thats what I want. Those trees are too tall for my taste.

Someone chop em!

I cant use MS3d for squat. I mean, no 3d view selection?? No 3d view highlights when a poly is selected??? how the hell do u guys do without that???

voodoo

Use 1.7.0 - it has all of the above.

- Jed

yes then u are uset to use 3dsmax
then it is bretty anoying

w00t ???
i cant select in 3d view in 1.7.0 ????

In Hammer, can't you just set how tall or short these trees look, by using the options to set where the models root bone is set in relation to the floor, as in higher or lower.......?.

Use Lightwave, it has far more then the above.......;)

In hammer, yes I could lower the trees into the ground, but I dont like doing that, becuase it makes you put a large skybox underneath the ground to makes sure no entities are out in "space" so to speak.

Rather annoying and a poorly constructed.

It's too bad they cant be shrunk, not that I know of at least. I believe only sprites can be changed in size because they are 2d bitmaps.

Anywayz, can someone just hack off 1/3 of that trunk plz?
