Software and Formats Discussion

Why obj if you can export the file directly to nif? You can upload the scen as well. I'm using max too

And well, you can always learn all that stuff

Every modeller was on that stage on which he could do models but mapping and textures not

I'm not gonna force you to do anything though. It's all up to you.

I think all you have to do is add to it a mesh for the curly beard and hair, really. The new concept isn't that different from the old.

I'm not stupid, Gez. I read about the problem. I can still investigate a lot more in a nif than in a obj.

But not everyone uses 3dsmax or blender. .OBJ is almost universal as a format, and this way I can see the model before it goes through the .nif exporter.

So maybe upload .obj and .nif?

Obj files get corrupted so often that I don't trust them even a bit. But that's just my opinion.

Aro: for some reason 3dsMax has always had trouble with the .obj format. Other programs handle it very well... Without corruption... I just remembered that from when Fairwater sent me the MC meshes. Apologies for continuing the semi-offtopic discussion.

No problem. I cut it out now. We need a summary for formats and software. Anyone up to it? If not, I'm gonna take care about this sometime soon.

You're joking. Damn, if there's a free one out, why did I pay for 3ds max? *slaps head*

Because Blender's interface is, well, a cost in itself?

Now let's cut the banter a bit and start concept-arting.

o.O I just installed Blender so I can use both now. Tell me, do I NEED Python to import files?

Yes, you need to install python. I'm cutting the blender discussion out and pasting it into a different thread.
