These plugins allow you to import and export .glm models to and from Max. GLM models that are weighted to a skeleton can be imported with a skeleton if you have the matching .GLA file. If you don't have one, you can cancel that step and an unweighted model will be imported.

The plugins have been tested with creating/modifying for Jedi Academy:

- Creature models (non-player usable models, such as rancor and wampa)
- Sabers
- Vehicles
- Weapons

They should probably work for Jedi Outcast as well, but this has not been tested.

A very simple and handy tool that turns your high density mesh into a bounding box, which will save your life if you are dealing with thousands of clones. Just apply this modifier and activate it only in the viewport so that at render time it will use the original mesh.

This MCG compound returns true if the tested mesh is in contact with at least one of the meshes in the array.

This is a basic modification of the Orbit MCG which allows you to change the plane of orbit. You can choose around which of the 3 axes you want to orbit, and then use Tilt Axis to adjust the rotation.

This is a variant of the CloneOnVerts modifier that only affects faces/vertices that are facing somewhat down. It is quite rudimentary and due to performance issues with MCG right now. By putting a 'Not' into the right node in the graph, you can have a system that affects faces that face upwards instead of down, ie. a snow/dust system that falls on top faces.

This MCG tool allows you to extrude any shape with some added capabilities over the normal extrude modifier.
