Learning to Mod!!

[iowa101]

I want to know what option to tick or not tick when exporting from blender to get my model to correctly load into S3D.
I'm using blender to convert it to .obj but all I keep getting is error messages when I try to import them. I'm Sick of having to send my models to karle94 who has a lot of his own stuff to do. No doubt he's got other things to do than to convert my model.

I want to know how to successfully do this on my own. I'm looking for a brief 1,2,3 etc tutorial on each of these.

.obj settings for export/ import.
.applying mesh uv maps to my models
.what programs to use.

This thread will be used for anyone who wants to learn how to do all the stuff one might need to mod for SHIV.

Please post as much as possible, for the more the better.
