Modification Help / Need help viewing files with foreign extensions.

« on: February 03, 2009, 12:37:52 AM »

I want to try my hand at modeling...as I have prior experience using 3D tools.   But I don't know the first thing about scripting, and I can't even view the add-on files to get started.


All I really need right now...are the dimensions of some of the vehicles, so I can make my own.  Are there dimensions in the script?  And if so....feet, inches, meters?

I'll cross other "bridges" when I get to them...but for now...I just want to design some cool vehicles.

I don't know how big or small to make them though....   =/

Modification Help / I has AutoCAD experience....how does Blender or Milkshape compare?

« on: January 31, 2009, 05:24:43 AM »

Are my leet 3d designing skills with AutoCAD at all useful for making models for Blockland?   I've also dabbled with true Basic back in the day...and C++ for programming.


Know where I can get some info about the modeling and coding programs?


I heard Blender is the free one...and it's more difficult to learn than Milkshape, but the complexity is more of a pro than a con for modeling.....or something.   ??

And the only word I even read about scripting was "Torque".


That's all I got.

Help / No collision on bricks for vehicles? Does this exist?

« on: January 31, 2009, 03:13:19 AM »

I tried to make a shallow bit of water specifically for vehicles to drive through....turned off collision...made it undulo....I ran around through it just fine....got all excited...then jumped in a car and drive right over it.   ?  Why don't the vehicles pass through bricks when collision is turned off?   

Am I doing something wrong?  Or is this something I need to request on the forum?
