Um... that depends what you mean, what you need, and whether i'd need to start with "1. get a copy of a 3d modelling prog and learn how to use it" or something a bit more advanced. You have pictures... er....right. Do you have models in 3ds, x, or other format?

quick atm converter question

Post by The_Grim_Reaper »

just a quick questio.. does the atm converter work with all
3d models no matter what program there made in?
I havent tried it yet but i got alot of 3d models from a wide variety of programs that I may be able to incorperate into the game.

The converter can handle .x and .3ds files, so you'll need to be able to convert to those formats from whatever format the stuff you've got is in.

Btw, I'm not sure how acceptable it is to use models from other games here. There are plenty of free models on the net, tho - it's just a case of getting them converted.

we never really talked about it, but in the back of my mind i always thought he'd had it only convertable one-way as sort of a soft-security measure for when we had the copyright junk in there.

i still like the message idea we had around the last time that stuff came up. anyway, before i start askin for that i should just hit the button and shuddap :]

...all of which aren't mapped for use with external textures.
the texture is coded into the model
don't know how well they will preserve when being converted to .atm useing the current converter.

i have all the space stuff and alot of other models from that site downloaded and mapped on my computer and will upload them to my website soon for anybody to download and make the first texture for them.
