** Sample Model with the issue Game and engine is Far Cry 1, CryEngine 1. I've tried loading multiple models; this particular model is the main character/player model.

There is a plug-in for Noesis that can handle Cryengine 1 and 2 games that you may want to look at. You can find more info on the Xentax forum at xentax.com.

I don't actually have access to early game models, so not sure how much work it would take to support these. Let me dig around and find out; it may take a while though.

Thank you for responding back so quickly. Unfortunately it looks like Noesis does not open CryEngine 1 or 2 files. If you need a sample model to test with, let me know. I own Far Cry 1 and Crysis 1.

My understanding of why the plugins for both CE1 and CE2 are dead, is because they were all dependent on 3ds Max, particularly MaxScript. MaxScript plugins are notorious for breaking every few releases of 3ds Max, and Autodesk doesn't allow you to use their older software. Furthermore, many of the older installations, don't even run properly, unless you also put an old installation of Windows. Definitely not an ideal workflow. If you'd like to take a look at the MaxScript plugins though, incase those are helpful, let me know.

This is probably fixed with the 1.4.0 release that is coming out soon. There was an issue with the chunk size not being included in the headers for older versions of crysis. The new version should be released soon, but since I don't have a copy of Far Cry 1, I could use some help verifying it works.
