Altenative to milkshape ? (convertor...import/export)

[Lord-Bandu]

Is there a good alternative to milkshape for exporting different file types to .xsi or something compatable with xsi?

Iv tried Milkshapes trial .... but with no mod tools for bf2 (none planned anyway) im not now gonna buy molkshape ..like i was plannin to .

Biturn can convert many 3D formats into *.XSI...

From my own expiriences during the last years i can say you won´t be lucky if you want converting 3d models from one format to the other if you want them to place in a Game. It all ends in wrong sided polygons or corrupted polygons wich doesn´t count any collision and so on.
So bugfixing will eat more time than doing them from scratch.

na i was just thinkin of getin complex models into xsi so i can basically learn and improve .

just basically see how very complex models are accomplished.

Milkshape costs about fifteen Diet Dr. Pepper quid you cheap student Diet Dr. Pepper. Lay off the beer for a night and it's paid for

[Lord-Bandu]

im not a cheap student Diet Dr. Pepper.

and im not payin fifteen Diet Dr. Pepper quid just to see how complex objects are made,for what looks like, a month or 2.

im not a student and i dont know what quid is, rofl.

[Saturn_V]

Lol ! A quid is slang for English money, 1 quid is about $1.70

Aha! I knew it, lol
btw, i tried making an animated "sky dome laser" earlier, but it's behaviour was really weird

Bandu, you may check out http://www.anim8or.com . It´s a free 3d modelling software and can convert stuff to wavefront .obj files wich you can import into XSI.

[CarbineImpulse]

wow... and I just assumed that you were US based Sat! The animations look as if they're really coming along, are they for a forthcoming map or for eventual release as objects for all? jeez, I sound like one of those people pestering fred for news on SWBF2

[Lord-Bandu]

Cheers Rends il take a look .

Iv ended up just puttin a laser in as a sky dome object and speeding up the velocity ,aswell as upping the numbers . They work but there just not placed well ,very random. i guess its just a quick fix untill i can get animation workin. this would allow for good placement of lasers...... eg. 1 cap ship shooting another.
