Fixed the link, was non-function before.

Wonderful to see my favorite modelling program with a converter out nice and early.

Google doesnt make plugins..

Kwah you might wanna move some editor threads to the right section, you know as part of your duties.

I tested Blender and it's such a mess, the menus, the toolbox with shapes that ms3d and 3ds max have, there is no such, the viewpoints you have to add them to the model, by default is showing 1 viewpoint, so for every model you have to set your views, the mesh you create, save your model, open the model and it's gone, I get error when using the import function... Blender sucks, I dont know how you like using that thing and 3ds max is too large for my taste.

They should've made a way to export from milkshape, because this remains my program, meshes and texturing is just so easy to do there. I don't need advanced animations since I don't make models that require walking etc, so it's just fine for me. But I couldnt find a way to convert my models to M3 either from ms3d or MDX. Basically I would convert to another extention and convert to M3 but: they did M3 to OBJ but not OBJ to M3, so pointless to convert to Obj.

Eventually I thought of something nice - I'd still use milkshape to model but I might use blender as a converter. So I would still not have to part with milkshape and would use 2 programs but under 30MB, unlike 3ds max 1.5GB. Though I Would prefer some direct converter or plugin for ms3d.

code.google.com is like sourceforge and the stuff is not usually written by google.

Credit where credit is due? The tool isn't by google and yet the thread claims it is.

Should I repost? Else I would have to get a mod to change it -_-

 

[PurplePoot]

It isn't a huge deal; I was just raising it and then Grey asked why it was important. As long as it's clear, that's what counts.

Might want to edit the original post to start, then have a moderator change it later.

Hell, the fact that the thread title gives no useful information is far more important that it gives credit to the wrong person/group.

Blah, blah, title changed.
