3D Models and Alice
Creating your own models
The urls below contain tutorials on using 3D Studio Max, and how to
get models built in 3D Studio Max into Alice.
We cannot stress strongly enough that experience as a graphics
artist is needed to successfully build 3D models.
Also, the critical part of building a 3D model for Alice is
that the internal pivots must be connected in a hierarchical fashion --
otherwise, Alice has trouble loading the model and making the subparts
move/rotate.
Here is a detailed step by step tutorial
by Rebecca Scully on using Maya and 3DS Max to build an Alice character.
Freely available 3D Models
The standard Alice 3D models are available from
http://www.alice.org/gallery/index.html.
For help in downloading these galleries on a Macintosh,
here is an mp4 tutorial.
If you have 3D models you would be willing to share with the Alice community,
please send them to us.
