Hey everybody... I am looking for help, of course. I have been learning to use milkshape to make 3D models and want to know if there is a why to export them to freespace2. A freind is working on a mod and we wanted to use original ship designs, hence the milkshape learning. Any help would be appreciated.

Love the site by the way. Learning alot here.

Please remember, I have no idea how to use any 3d modeling proggy.



I think you can texture it in Milkshape (maybe only in Truespace), then save it as a .cob. Use a .cob to .pof converter, and use PofConstructor suite to add .pof data.


I think that's how it goes.... Somebody else will tell you how to do it. You might want to try and find one of the tutorials around here. There's one at the main VWatch site.

Hades has pretty much got it right. If you don`t have a copy of Truespace you can get it from the modding section of my FAQ (which also has a few links to tutorials on building ships)
