What is a good tutorial for porting black ops 2 models?

I know there is a few, not sure which is recommended.

Appreciate any help.

there is no tut for specific games since its the same way for all of them except cod 4

As long as you have Lime (I don't know any other program which would be capable of porting models from BO2) you can just ude the models and images in your export folder and add them to a .gsc via the AssetManager as usual.

Thanks, and what's the difference between exports like

zombie_vending_tombstone_LOD_0.XMODEL_EXPORT
zombie_vending_tombstone_LOD_1.XMODEL_EXPORT
and
zombie_vending_tombstone_LOD_2.XMODEL_EXPORT

There is different exports because some of them are for different parts of the xmodel, havent looked at tombstone xmodel, but im guessing one is for the bottom, one for the top, and one for the middle. You will need all 3 of them anyway

wow what a fail. LOD stands for "Level Of Detail"
they are the same model but in a different level of detail lolz. when you're close to a model the game sets the lod0 and then you have to define in asset manager the distance to switch to next lod.
so when you're away from the model the game will switch your model with a big poly count into the lowest lod which must have lest verts for easier rendering. as if the model is far from you you dont need to be rendering a high poly model

basiaclly those are the models that they use if ur far medium and close where close is the best detailed and far is the worst

sorry for my fail xD i never use those different lods anyway, wasnt sure what they were for

Ahh thanks, also isn't lime suppose to automatically generate a GDT for me since "Add to GDT' is checked, cause its not and I have to make it manually which is a bit of a pain.

Edit: And what would probably be good values for distance.

Edit2: Nevermind. Solved.

One more thing, after porting and using asset manager, is there an easy way to get all materials, material_properties, images, and xmodels without having to get them all individually. So I can copy them on my other installation of WaW (The UGX installation).

well the only thinf u really need to copy is their iwi's if its the same computer. and no sorry

One more question, how does one hide xmodel tags?

For weapons add the tag you want to hide in 'hide tags' in the weapon file, for other models I don't know, other than deleting the tags/meshes in Maya

I do see an option that says allowHidingAllParts in assetmanager, but not sure if thats the right option.
