Changing the "Loading" shape.

Terratec

good work adoxa respect. What should you do if you want to load the cmp other in milkshape?

StarTrader

Yes most definitely - very nice work as usual, adoxa!

Weeeell - you would definitely lose the benefit of my (odd) sense of humour!

It is natural that phrases like “pull your finger out of your bum” might be misunderstood by non-native English speakers.

Mini-Me: This only means “stop buggering about and do something!”.

Anyway - let’s stop buggering up this thread. The intention was to get DVDMan to test the advice he was given. And he did - to some extent!

@Terratec: My understanding is that everyone uses MilkShape (either directly or indirectly) simply because no one has written an importer for any other program. In the far future, I’d be prepared to write one for Blender (since that seems to be the best of the free programs).

Terratec

Thank you for your answer adoxa.

StarTrader

Couldn’t get to grips with Blender, seem to have a mind blockage. But I do have 3ds Max… ?

No chance - certainly not going to buy it and at over 700MB I’m not bothered d/l’ing it. How’s the exporter working out, though?

i downloaded lightwave only after i saw why’s FL ace animation and only because of it. lightwave sucks memory like hell and my machine lags when i render an image worthy of mentioning but guess what: i don’t regret it at all. its capabilities are far worth its size and its price coughrussian downloadcough

Do you mean 3DS Max to MilkShape? No problem to me, I always get round those types of problems. Both support so many formats it’s not been a problem. I forget which one truncated the group names but that’s not a problem either.

Lightwave? That’s the animation studio but not a THN edit. Hehe.

No, I mean the cmp exporter for 3DS Max 9. But looking again, it doesn’t look like it was properly finished. If I have the quota in 6 months when my net runs out, I’ll consider getting it then.
