I'm having problems getting it to load in Zmod, it won't load. I have uploaded the .3ds file if some nice person would like to complete the next step or troubleshoot for me. Thanks again for your help.
Yes, I have tried importing other models in from blender and other sources. none of these attempts were successful and all resulted in that message. I even tried using the other 3ds file format that blender allows "exportation" as. same message, the strange thing is it allows z3d files into zmod unscathed. I was wondering if anyone could try with my model see if they get the same results?
Ah your exporting from Blender as a 3ds, as I recall that can be quite problematic, as when blender exports as 3ds, 3ds max is the only thing able to read the file. I usually use lwo, or obj (zmod can't open obj just fyi, I use another program to convert it to something zmod can open)
I found it easier to export from Blender directly if you have the model, there are a couple tricks to using the exporter I had though - it only exports objects on layer 1 and they need some mapping option applied (I forget what it is, I don't have access to Blender atm). If you check the Racer downloads here I think there's a newer exporter with a GUI to help.
Sorry for not getting back to you guys recently but I've been doing a job-shadow program with the local police department. It still isn't liking the file, I think it's because blender is on my mac and I can't find a converter for my mac partition. Any suggestions???
