Need Help! POF2COB wanted, and a little advice.....
I really could use pof2cob, the program that converts pofs into cobs, so I can make small changes to certain models.  But I can't find it!:mad:

Does anyone have it, or knows where it is?

Oh, and BTW, when doing submodels, what is the correct method that produces proper arrangement? Is it select main submodel (hull), then Glue-as-(child/sibling), then the desired submodel?

This works for turrets right? Does this work for LODs too?
...There ought to be something surreal about a Zoid offering romantic advice...and yet there is not. It seems perfectly normal that the Liger is giving Bit advice on relationships, and it shouldn't, but it does. Dangit man, you've confused me again.[/I]

If you're using the glue controls you'll have to go up and down the hierarchy a few times to check you've done it correctly.

Instead get Truespace 3.2 (now available for free download) and use Trueview. It's easier, quicker and if you f**k it up you'll notice it immediately.

If you're building Turrets I suggest having a look at the tutorial I did on the matter for step by step advice.

Well, I tried ages ago and I just couldn't work it.  May try again at somepoint.  Just got to find it....

About TS, I HAVE TS3.2 (just re-installed it), but I don't seem to have this 'Trueview' plugin installed.  Where is it, and is it free?

Please don't flame me, I'm still a newbie at this:nervous:......

It's pretty simple. Simply load in the pof and then select pof to cob from the menu. Save the cob wherever you want.

Of course whenever I try to save a cob the first time I make the mistake of not loading the pof first. If you do that I think it will still save a cob but there won't be much of use in it :)

PCS works far better than the old pof2cob, PCS has only a few minor axis recenterings to deal with (wich you don't even realy need to do) pof2cob on the other hand would convert everything backwards and insideout, not to mention that it would give you forked up materials so unles you knew what you were doing you would think there were no textures

That is indeed true, and I meant no anger by it, I was just a bit peeved that I said that to you a few days ago, and now you are using as though you have a right to! Which of course you do.:nod:

Ohno, an anti-argument hat. Specially designed to soothe the brain and so avoid any confrontations that might damage it. (the hat, that is)
