Title: Modding
Post by: Rico on March 26, 2008, 12:42:17 am

G'day,
I need to edit some models in Freespace (eg: change the textures to ones I want, edit the model alittle etc). Which programs do I need and how do I get the .pof models into a format that the 3d program will open.
Also which 3D program is recommended (and 3D max is out since I dont have a few grand lieing around  :()
A 'modeling noob' program would be preferred (aka easy enough to get the hang of).
Also, how can I extract the video's from Freespace 1 & 2, ive done it before but have forgotten what the program was called  :nervous:
Thanks

1. PCS2 for texture replacement.

2. I don't think there's reverse conversion from *.pof -> anything. I might be wrong, and probably am.

3. Use a VP viewer/extractor?

2. You can convert to COB and then edit the model in TrueSpace (if you can get the hang of it :rolleyes:), or export again from truespace and use something else.

Does anyone have a link for PSC2 and COB?
Cant find them, found truespace, but isnt that only free for trial, and if so what are the restrictions for the trial edition?
Thanks :)
