Preview textures with Maya?

[segab]

I saw somewhere that it's possible to preview the textures with Maya..
Anyone knows how to do that?
And will it work if I use 3DS Max instead?

I think I saw SuperCoins doing that too.. if you can help be it'd be great :]

I wouldn't know...SuperCoins should know

Yes you can. You need the .fbx models for it and only a few have been properly ported. Sabretooth exported them. It's easy to apply the textures once you've done it.
And yes, you can view them in 3DS max, i know you can change the texture but i can't remember how.

ok cool
and how do I get those .fbx models?

I found this:

Hmmmmmm...
That certainly sounds very handy... Wouldn't hurt to find out a little bit more on it.

I read a couple of pages of Sabretooth's thread, and I downloaded a pikachu.fbx file and now I can see Pikachu in 3DS Max.
I have no idea how to change the textures, but it's getting better :]

I don't know how to use 3DS max but i can use Maya.
And thats where i got the .fbx models from. There are more there.

[segab]

and do you know how to change the texture once you have the .fbx file? (in Maya)

[redhedge]

this could make tex hacking a lot easier...

[SuperCoins]

It could. The only problem is that only about 7 models are availible.

Also i hope your greatful Register. I spent like 2 hours teaching you how to do it...
