WWE 2K22 Modding - Belt Modeling Tutorial

Ian Smith

Good tutorial! So far I've only found tutorials using Blender. Is the same workflow available in Max? I know Max can natively import .mdl files, but is the Node Wrangler crucial? Just wondering if this has come up in the community. I really don't want to have to deal with Blender if I can avoid it.

DISCOVERY

There's no real support for Max anymore, everything will be Blender based going forward sorry.

Ian Smith

I appreciate the response. I find Blender such a pain in the arse to use. If I can do the work in Max and just use Blender to create the mod then that would be a potential solution.

DISCOVERY

Yeah that should be possible I think. The source code for all these scripts are out there, so if someone wanted to convert it to a Max plugin or script, they're more than welcome too.
