I wanted to know, because I don't want to have any problems while using it. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. I was also wondering if the Bluestreak plugin would work correctly? Or would tool flip out when I use it?

Depends, you can use 2009 to model. Then export an fbx or 3ds into Max 8 to export to Halo. I do believe 2009 supports Bluestreak, but you should be able to use Blitzkrieg with Max 8 also.
Someone should make a Blitzkrieg extension that works for 3ds Max 9-2010 >:V
seriously. It is much needed.
Yes, it would be nice. Someone should make a petition! >:U
IMO, Max 8 is perfect. Well, for what I use.
-.-'
So I really have to get Max 8 or 7 for that matter?
Get 2009. I don't know why people complain about bluestreak. It works perfectly.
Bluestreak doesnt export animations.
Blitzkrieg is still an essential in modding.
Bluestreak exports models fine. CAD made a script to export animations. No excuses.
Ive had occasions where my map models were inside out with that, thats the only model problem i had with itQuote:

Max 8 works fine of my computer. You need to install the service packs to get it to work.
Use whichever modeling package you feel like; if you really wanted to you could use something free, so long as it has support for .3ds. You'll need to find someone that has a copy of max 8, 9, whatever to export it the game for you. 3DS Max is a very expensive program and I'd recommend taking a look at free stuff first.
Bluestreak gives non-existent open edges.
^this
Since i started to export using Blitzkrieg, I was able to be more productive.
So what should I use? Blitzkrieg or Bluestreak?
Preferably blitzkrieg , but its only works up to max 9
but if you do any biped rigging, go for bluestreak
Bluestreak does work. Those of you with your non-existent open edges just need to triangulate your mesh before you export. Convert to editable patch and then convert it back to editable mesh/poly.
Well, I got both for the hell of it. Thanks for the help. Im off to look at some plane modeling tutorials
E: Where do I get Blitzkrieg?
Bluestreak works with Max 9. Blitzkrieg doesn't. Animation exporter doesn't work, since you can't use Blitzkrieg, but ZTeam's animation exporter works.

Guess what we have been doing since bluestreak came out.Quote:

What version you choose will also effect your file sharing ability. See this here poll about which versions others are using.

The one that comes with HEK only supports Max 6-7
The one on Halomaps also supports Max 8
Max 9 with Blitzkried fails. I deleted it from the folder because it crashes my Max 9 on startup.
