ts 3.2 was useable and i preferred the "hidden" buttons. kept much of the screen free for the main view. reason i switched to C4D was mostly C4D's vastly superior render engine.

[chief1983]

Shouldn't rendering come second to things like how good of a model you can make when you're making a model for a game, and not a movie?

[dragonsniper]

Truespaces' interface is terrible!

I completely agree. After one look at it...
That may just be me though. There's some I'm sure that are just fine with Truespace.

or just sing the pirate song

Even if you wanted I'm sure it wouldn't be that easy. Plus I'm sure most highly recommend against it.

you could also try wings3d

back then my models were crappy enough that it didnt matter when i switched out to c4d, things started to go quite rapidly. but now i'm stuck on unwrapping -.-

or to be more precise, i have no idea how to do proper unwraps which can nicely ignore seams.

Truespace Interface is BRILLIANT (aside from 7.1 What were tehy thinking with that thing? Good thing you can change the interface layouts)

Can you? And is ther version previous to 7.1 free?

[chief1983]

The latest free one before that was 3.2.  It was pretty old.

[dragonsniper]

Is there a plug-in or something for Truespace that will allow it to open a .cob file, or does 7.1 not do that?

[Vasudan Admiral]

...I'd imagine-I'd hope they'd have the sense to include support for their own object format with all versions. (COB = Caligari OBject)

You would think. That (and the Truespace interface) is why I don't like it. In a nutshell, it doesn't support .cob (and it doesn't save as a .cob or a .scn either.)
Do you think it would be worth downloading the OLD version to convert a model to a .cob or a .scn format?

[chief1983]

What?  It can too.  It's hidden under a different menu button though than the usual save/open dialog.  I forget where but there's a button in the upper right by default...

[Vertigo 7]

7.6 can

[dragonsniper]

7.6 can

Where?

http://www.caligari.com/Products/trueSpace/tS75/Brochure/Intro.asp

just click download on that page, register and download ts 7.6 (i know it says 7.5 in the link but its 7.6, i promise)

*edit

I almost forgot, when you save the .cob, it'll give you a choice for what version to save it as... make sure its either version 3 or 5... cant exactly remember, all others wont import into PCS properly (and make sure you select all objects and save object as, not scene)

[dragonsniper]

I have 7.6 (so it says.) I save the .cob file using 3dexploration and try to open it with Truespace, but it doesn't give me that open option. And it doesn't save as a .cob or a .scn (for me anyhow.)

[Vertigo 7]

thats very odd... are you on the work space screen when you try to open/save? or on the show case or w/e its called screen

[dragonsniper]

Ya, I'm on the workspace screen when I try to open/save. Is there a problem with that screen?

[Vertigo 7]

nope, thats where you should be... bleh i wish i still had TS on my pc so i can help you better... can you open up the "File" menu and take a screen shot of it for me?
