Just One problem. Im only able to get hands on 3ds max 9 trial version...

Just means you gotta be fast

If it really becomes an issue you can always use Blender or other versions of 3ds. It is not supported officially, but usually you can make the back port work.

I figure this out hopefully

I did use blender to modell it. I will try to get the modelling done next week or sooner then

4,265 Tris

Looks good to me.

FalkeS · 2016-10-22, 12:08

Ok

I will begin on making the LODs after i have fixed some small things on it.

FalkeS · 2016-11-01, 17:53

In short.

Try to start from UV unwraping main model, make sure that You use most of the space available on UV sheet. Whole UV sheet will be used by this one 1st person model called geom0.
After that You copy model and start optimizing things for 3rd person main model called geom1lod0.
You will have to do UV unwraping again to separate UV sheet for geom1lod0 model.
This is the part where You want your texture to be ready for 1st person model. If it's ready then bake it from 1st person model to 3rd person model, like You would be baking normalmaps from highpoly model to lowpoly.
Next you can create further LODs for 3rd person model, you don't want to change UV at this time, just keep copying geom1lod0 model and optimize it without changing UV.

Send me a pm if you will ever have problems with exporting .obj to max 9 format. Most of export issues can be fixed. Make sure that Your object is clean, try to use mostly quads and triangles.

Here are presets for exporting to .obj I am using myself:
