What I do is texture in MS3D and group stuff I want as subobjects.
Export to .obj
use 3D Exploration to convert ot .cob
use Treuspace (2) to glue/name/rotate every thing (in milkshape the model facing left in left view is facing down in ts)
then i export to .cob (overwriting the old one)
convert to .pof in PCS use Modelview32 and all that to do the extra stuff...

Ya know I don't think you people are getting it! He asked where he can get the stuff! He asked about canverting to POF and you give him PCS WHAT THE HELL is that! Man you guys are shady! And there is there no other program (ie 3D modeler) to make SCN or COB w/tex. Now I'm not a programmer, but why can't someone who does and wants to make a program that can convert DFX, OBJ, VRML, or even blender files to POF's.

3D Exploration can convert just about anything. PCS is Kazan POF Construction Suite that turns COB's into POF's.

Hey FreespaceMaster why don't you post a picture of what you've made in Milkshape? If you don't have a webpage email a picture to me.

You don't. You get a program which is compatible (more of less- TS is one of the most besmuggered programs in more ways than one...) .3ds files convert nicely and .dxfs do if you don't mind hours of patching, but you'll lose your texes either way.

Export the ms3d file to 3DS, then save it as a COB using 3D Explorer  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif).

Did you get PCS? if so, then use the menu to convert .cob - .pof. If you don't have it yet, it's at the link above, and get of the Freespace 2 kit. It's part of it. Then comes placing gun mount points and, docking paths and all that stuff. I'm sure others know this better than I do, but PCS works alot like FSMM2, and here's ("http://members.aol.com/bobboau/FSMM2.html") a tutorial.

And oh, there's never a easy waay.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

 Would some one be interested in saving the LOD 1's and deleting everything else on all the cruisers, destroyers, and installations, and then saving them to a dfx or a milkshake file and uploading them a to a website??

Cob2Pof sucks. I'll say it plain and simple. Use PCS (Pof Constructor Suite) and it can be gotten at kazan's site. Someone please post the adress...
