Torque SDK Mesh Support

by Fredrik Blomstervik · in Torque Game Engine · 08/02/2006 (3:50 pm) · 3 replies

Hello!
I am wondering if there is a kit or something for Torque SDK that will make the engine able to load other mesh formats(3ds/obj) nativley. I have seen this mentioned in some forums, but I haven't found much information about it. Could you please tell me if such a thing exists or not?

Don't think its worth the headache when you can import both mesh formats to any of the available
3d packages that have a dts exporter already.
Here is the link your looking for found with the searchlink

Thanks for the link. I personally think it's better to use that format so I don't have to export everything. It might be a headache in the start, but not when I have it up and running ;)

You do realise that 3ds does not support animation, and that you cant really create a player our of it. Or any weapon/enemy/vehicle for that matter. This is only a good replacement for using the interriors.

And if you're using 3d studio max anyway... just use this new exporter

I couldnt find the original link here on gg anymore, so i just uploaded it to my own webspace. All credit goes to gg (please correct me if i'm wrong). It's just exporting to dts with 1 click on a button.. It would take just as much clicks saving it to 3ds as it would exporting to dts.
