You use milkshape or a modeler to open them right? How?

Use Torque ShowToolPro, or Shaper. Both of them do not allow editing - thank god. I think Shaper might allow you to export but they come out very crappy.

Alright, thanks.

One More Question: Would it be possible to make a model in Maya/Blender and then load it in STP and save it as a .dts?

Ephialtes · March 12, 2007, 05:43:57 PM

ShowToolPro is just a Tool to Show you models. Its also Pro.

You'll either need to export it out of blender/maya to Milkshape and then export from there (which can make for crappy models) or you can take the plunge and try exporting directly from maya/blender.

Exporting from Maya is hell, do not try it.

So...what do I MAKE a model with? I'm getting a tad confused here.

Milkshape, Maya, 3DS Max or Blender. Those are the best ones, and Milkshape is good for starters.

Blender is the only free one. If you want to burn $20, use milkshape. If you're an uber pro with thousands of spare cash, use Maya or 3DS.

Any tutorials on how to use blender? I can't even seem to place a line... I tried googling and nothing good came up.

Hmm goto www.garagegames.com then use the Search tool you should find a few, I think MS3D is awesome and worth the $20 because I use it nearly every day.

Shaper DOES allow editing, i tried it the other day since i needed to convert the jeep from dts so i could open it in milkshape. Then i loaded it in milkshape and i get a bunch of joints and a skate ramp :(

Apparently, Some dude is working on a MS3D DTS import plugin. :>
