I'm starting on a project in college in which we are building a game we designed last semester, and we chose UDK as our platform because it seems to have all that we need.. my problem is the following:
i am an experienced 3dsmax modeler/animator, and i am trying to get a custom character into udk, but it always crashes when i try.
I downloaded the ut3_male.max to start from, built a simple mesh on it just to try the export/import, i deleted the bip bones (left only the
b_* ones), and rigged the mesh on the bones using a skin modifier, so the contents of the scene is just all the b_* bones, and a mesh with skin and uvw_unwrap applied.
i exported into a psk using actorx, which successfully exports ok, and added a 1-frame base-pose (as an animation), and another little anim sequence
all this is just for my try-it-out-to-understand-how-it-works-phase (we started 2 days ago)
the problem is that when i get to udk, i access the content browser, click import, down on the left side of the screen, open the psk file, get the import dialog, i add it to Package_0, and leave the group field empty, click ok, and everything seems right.
udk doesn't crash after import, and i can navigate the Engine or the UTGame packages, and even open the built-in models
the problem is when i try to access my imported model
i click NewPackages (that's where i'll find Package_0), and udk just crashes without any kind of error. it simply goes away
i don't get to see the package contents or anything, it just freezes for 2 segs and dies
i tried importing the .ase model that Inferno suggested, into the same package, and it crashed right after the import was over
i have tried uninstalling UDK, run a registry cleanup app, and installed again, but it continues to do the same thing
anyone got suggestions? i know my computer is kind of old, and i get a "no shaders 3.0" warning when i run UDK, but i can run the game demo, and this computer will be mainly for 3dsmax animation, importing into the game and doing some scripting.
my settings are:
amd64 2.3ghz
asus a8n-sli se
4x 1Gb ram
ati radeon x550 256mb
windows server 2003 r2 x64 (you may question this, but it's by far the fastest and most stable windows version ever built, especially for intensive workflows and memory choking =)
i hope i got all the necessary info into the post
thanx for your time
