Does anyone have a .msh importer/exporter for blender?

How to create models in XSI and other 3D applications and make them work in Battlefront 1 & 2. Post models, tips for application usage and share anything XSI, 3DMax, SketchUp, etc.

Post by CdtFox »

I just changed my modeling software and now I'm using blender, I hope some of you are using this one rather than XSI...in order to help me...

Like ZE tool does anyone have/know a .msh importer/exporter for blender? if yes, where i can find it?

Many thanks guys :D

I'm using the lastest version of blender: 2.77a

i think import works with MeshViewer. You can export a msh to a new format that blender can read in. Export i don't know.
But ZETools is open source, so you can write a plug in for blender :P

Don't use Blender, use XSI. We have tools dedicated to importing and exporting .msh for it.

If you insist on using Blender, the SWBFMeshviewer converts .msh into .wrl which Blender can import.

Do note however that any skeletons, hardpoints and such will be lost.

Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks to Revan I found a solution:

1) Download the 2.63a version of blender Here (Warning this will not work with the lastest version of Blender!)
2) Extract the files and install the software.
3) Download this .msh addon (importer/exporter) Here
4) Install the addon and you are ready! :D (Check some yt vids if you need help).

XSI is a bit too complicated for me, whereas there are french tutorials for blender... :P

Yes, I tried thanks anyways.

Really? Too bad I wasn't expecting that at all... :runaway:

- EDIT:
The .msh importer dosen't work...the exporter is good.

Sorry man, Orbiter msh files and SWBF msh files are two completely different formats, they just share the same extension, and extensions mean nothing anyway. THEWULFMAN is wise. :yes:
