Default the orginal model is in "X" format

She is not is Wavefront .OBJ like is needed in SHIII or IV. so not direct export is possible,
theonly way around this is a good skinner, cut the boat to its parts and skin it all over again, then export the parts into the correct slots.

for this,,

convert the model to DXF,
then import it to Gmax.
cut it apart to reskin,
then export to an .im file using trainz exporter, then convert the .im to OBJ
then using s3d, import al the parts and adjust them to the correct place using the 3d viewer.

gmax is free at turbosquid,
trainz gmax exporter is free at auran.com/trainz
I would reccomend photoshop vii
