Cinema 4D exporter available?

by amaranthia · in Artist Corner · 03/26/2004 (9:03 am) · 2 replies

Hi there, I would like to use Cinema 4D to create my models, but I have no idea how to export these models to Torque.

-Is an exporter available?
-If not, is there a clever way to get my models into Torque?
-If there are no clever ways to export the models, can someone point me to a tutorial that can help me create an exporter?

Thanks :)

As far as I know, no one is working on an exporter for this. I could be wrong.

The options I see for this is:
1. Create an exporter.
The only tutorials available to this is looking at the source to the other exporters and the engine. Wich most likely would take
a fair bit of programming to accomplish. Dicussion of exporter development would be better off in the SDK forums.

2. Aquire & Learn one of the following:
Blender
Milkshape
Truespace/Gamespace?
Lightwave
Maya
Max

3. Find a way to save your files in a format one of the above can read and export your models from those programs or have someone else export them for you.

I think I got the main programs with exporters, but someone may correct me.

The source for our trueSpace/ gameSpace exporter will be available for download from Garage Games sometime in the next few days. Someone could probably take much of the code and use it to create an exporter for for Cinema 4D. Take a look at my .plan for more information about it.
