I have this problem - TS 3.2 doesn't want to:
a) work on an object that is not a solid
b) work with the solidifier I found- it requires 4.1 or newer

Anyone know a plugin for TS 3.2, or a different program that can solidify an object?

[Topgun]

what do you mean, solidify? I don't know what that is.

[BengalTiger]

This is the message I get:


This is how the object looks like when decomposed into objects:




And Solidify is something that changes those 100 little meshes into 1 'solid' object that I can union or subtract stuff from, but it doesn't work on TS 3.2, and I don't feel like buying 4.1 or newer just to get 2 models working.
Any advice?

Any modelling program requiring over 100 submeshes should be burned at stake.

[Topgun]

did you happen to use metaballs?

PS: no one should use ts3.2 for modeling anyway. just to get the intermediate stuff working so you can convert it.

My first version back in 99 was 2.1......... So imagine what had to work with to make the Apollo and the Lucifer. Makes you think a little patience etc.

used 3DS Max.

My advice would be to switch to Blender or any other free modeler you can find, anything but that hellspawn of Truespace.

[Vasudan Admiral]

That would pretty much be my advice as well.

ROFL @ this though:


It's like "Your program has a bug in it. Erase program? Yes/No"

You never know what Windows could come up with

had a 3ds > Pof? Who's idea back in the day was it to use truespace as the communities forefront modelling program? I had no idea respect -5 points.

[Col. Fishguts]

wrote their own exporter.

IIRC, .cob was chosen because back in the day Truespace was one of the only freely available modeling apps.
