To open a second, separate file, use the open instance of S3D, click on the usual "File - Open", and navigate to the folder of the 2nd object. It should open in a new window, and leave the first instance open also. If you have the dat of say the Shokaku open, you can use the S3D's links in the upper right to open the sim, dsd, etc. files. Then use the File-Open and open a 2nd ship, and use the same buttons on that particular ship's dat file instance in S3D in the upper right, just like the Shokakus's you did previously, and have all files of both ships open. Do a 3rd, do a 4th... you will eventually run out of computer, of course...

You are HOOKED! :salute:

updating Japlance's Directx9 link because the one he referenced was broken.

this additional installation, plus PB's Properties changes (above) will fix the problem of S3d running in win10/11.

S3D manual
 

Hi, everybody.
Does anybody have a copy of the s3d editor manual? I' want to create additional animations and modification to the interior.:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

I do not remember a "manual" per se, but skwasjer did do some "tutorials", some of which are still alive in his signature. You can also "search" for him on YouTube and possibly find some others. Jeff-Groves is into animation also, and has a couple of threads here that might be useful. Use an external search engine and use "site:subsim.com/radioroom Jeff-Groves animation" for your search term, and see if that doesn't find some of his posts. :salute:

Thank you
 

Thank you for the informations.

There's SH3 animations and SH4 animations.
SH3 is easiest to create and S3D can handle them in KeyFrame or MeshAnimations.

Here's the important stuff about SH4 animations.

And SH3 animation stuff.
