What program did you use to rebuild it? (Please don't say TS. I suck  at it and the tutorial about it on VW made no sense. Just wondering, does anyone have a good tutorial on texturing in TS?)

[Starwing]

What Truespace do you have?

[Grey Wolf]

I have a limited budget so all I have is TS2 Trial.  It really sucks and you can't save objects, only scenes.  If anyone has something better to use for free, tell me.

[Martinus]

I used Rhino.

Grey,..TS2 is out as a full free program now. I think it's available on TS's main homepage.

least this way you can save objects not just scns

caligari.com still states a prize of $49 for TS2. You can download it, but not free.

If there really is a free version of ts2 then I would love to know where.

I could really use a decent converter too.
I find mesh modeling in Rhino so much better than any of these other programs.
Its just a great rapid prototyping tool.
I just want something to help convert it to cob/pof for texturing and animations then for finalizing.
Is there anything ouyt there not requiring a zillion bucks for a simple conversion?

[asyikarea51]

(Sorry. My first time actually firing the beam around here.)

What about TS3.2 (since it's free now anyway)? I'm not a modeller but ugh, the cob/scn formats do get annoying... no surprise why most people don't fancy TS a lot...

[Mobius]

Geez...new record!

*lock*

[KewlToyZ]

OK TS3.2 all I saw was *.scn for the file outputs?
Is there an export function there as well?
I'll check it out. Thanks.
And heck yeah I'll toss a post in the microwave to make it feel lifelike

Holy crap I thought Greywolf and Nico were back...!

AFAIK only 3dsmax is workign on a plugin for exporting direct to .pof

all other programs need to export to .cobs cause that's what all three of teh communitie's converters use as teh standard 3d format to make a game model (.pof)

Hope that helps. (maybe official Rhino forums can help you?) Rhino and c4d users, are kinda exotic for around here

Most use: Blender, Wings, Sketchup, 3dsmax, and of course TS.

I hope you get those issues solved though so we can see you works.

it'll only save scenes to .scn and .wrl, objects to .cob, .asc, .dxf... some old DirectX format too or something. Doesn't explicitly say export... I don't think it has a proper export function of sorts.

Some of the people around here will tell you to avoid the 3ds max POF exporter, but my only run-in with it was with bad shield meshes at the final POF (for fighters, that is). Hope that's worth something.

There we go.
I'll give these a shot.
I just want the least problematic process and wondered if someone had already figured out the wheel.
They have, its just been awhile since someone asked. All of the help sites people had posted on it are dead too.
