Some Useful Programs For Modelers

Post by The_Grim_Reaper »

ok.. these could come in quite useful for u
crossroads 3D - can convert a variety of 3d models
it can handel obj, 3ds, x, and can even output .c files, ive used it and it works great
http://www.europa.com/~keithr/crossroads/
LithUnwrap- another unwrapping and texturing tool
http://www.geocities.com/lithunwrap
3D Canvas- wow so complicated i couldnt figure it all out, this program has a load of options for generating 3d models. I think its excellent (i just dont want to take the time to figure it out
http://www.amabilis.com/
and finally Image Enhance 3.2.2 - great for making adjustments to pictures

Try these out, or dont, i really dont care, just thought i'd offer them to all those out there looking for some decent programs.

last time i tried crossroads the models woulden't work in-game, however, the game was only useing .x then and not .atm.
have you converted a crossroads-made .x to a .atm and tested it in-game yet?

I have only converted a few x files (2 or 3 :roll: ) but they worked fine. I have been mostly using the crossroads to convert all the models into 3ds and then use the new model converter to convert to atm format. 95% of all the models i've done so far have worked fine. Although some seem to have a problem unwrapping and taking textuires. Im not sure why, but im looking for a way around that.

3D Canvas is pretty powerful, but for unwrapping lith unwrap is much more effective (its quicker and you have better control over the unwrapping).
3D Canvas does has some nice build in features like the optimization can rid you of upto a third of a models faces with out changing the look of the model,and it has almost unlimited amout of undo thingies :-)
