Help with importing please!

GoldenEagle8 · 09-10-07, 04:22 AM

Hi, I'm trying to make a ship for SHIII, and the only problem I seem to be having is that I added some new parts to the hull of the ship, I UV mapped them and made a .tga for the new part, but I can't seem to get the new hull to import. I know it might have something to do with the new part I added to the hull, but I don't know what to do to get it imported.

Thanks for any help.

Moin,

what 3d programme do you use?
what error message did you get when trying to import the new model?

Regards,
DD

oh, sorry, I'm using Wings 3d, and all I get as an error is "This object can not be imported."

I´m not using Wings3D. Have you exported to *.obj file format?

Select the 3D objects node type 1/101, would be node #287 in this example. The child node (#288) type 4/100 contains the properties only.

The pic above most probably shows your mistake. Don´t select the 4/100 (node #288).

Regards,
DD

I don't understand the 1/100 or 4/100 part, where is that shown in the pic?

Basically what DD is saying is open the folder then click on the line that drops down then import

As shown in the pic

Pack3d wont import if you were to highlight
287:NDD_Hunt1_propeller_01

You need to highlight 288:NDD_Hunt1_propeller01

Then import
