I'm currently in my last year of CNC machining classes, and I'd like to make something for myself, assuming I have time enough left over when my final project is finished. I have access to a 5-axis mill, and I'd like to make a desktop model. My handle on most other websites/Steam/Origin is Admiral Bosch, so I was thinking of milling out a small desktop sized model of the Iceni... what I was hoping somebody might have is a low-detail model of the Iceni, more or less an OG, non-HTL model minus the turrets, kinda like what Bosch has on his desktop during his monologue cutscenes. I'd like it either as an .stl Solidworks file or as an .ipt Inventor file.
Failing that, I could prooobably do it myself using one of the lower LOD models, assuming someone has a .POF to some-other-filetype converter?

Meh... I have no idea o__O. Is there no option to import some more classic file formats like .obj, .dae or .3ds? You can convert pof to dae with PCS2, and than convert it to obj for example with Blender but these further formats are mystery.

Honestly, if you need something with low detail, I'd recommend you use the retail Iceni model.
As for file format, you can fairly easily go from PCS2 to anything standard like OBJ or DAE. A quick Google search showed any number of methods to go from a standard format to Solidworks.

Agreed on both points. Use the retail Iceni model, the hull is all one subobject; and using just PCS you can export to Collada (DAE) which is well supported.
