How to open chisel (Myth 3) in Windows?

Post by nikhilR »

Hi!

Could anyone direct me to downloading a Windows version of Chisel.
[A Myth III tool that converts meshwork files into model files (.skl extension) ready for import into Ballistic.] or similar programs.

I managed to open the .sit file, but cannot run the application under windows.

[Also this was in the readme,
Known Issues:
It currently doesnt support bones or animation but the source code is available to anyone who wishes to add these functions. The job is trivial, but I felt it not really worth it since no one animates in meshworks]

Also I'm looking for details/ tutorials on the process of creating animated 3D units for myth 3, i.e Softwares most popularly used for making the models and animating them.

I do hope to someday make a total conversion (have a lot of ideas awaiting a good computer), so any help would be much appreciated,

Regards,
Nikhil.

Reading it over I realize it was before I learned how to make animations speed up ro slow down based on walk speed. Ignore that part, its a setting in the animation window i think.

I also realized that I didn't make chisel for windows bc windows has 3ds max
