Hello,

LightRay3D is a powerful 3D design software, it has a lot of plugins but none for TGE yet.

Now it support:

Call Of Duty Importer/Exporter
Blitz3D b3d file Importer/Exporter
MOH Importer/Exporter
Fakk2 Importer/Exporter
HalfLife SMD Importer/Exporter
RTCW & ET Importer/Exporter(updated)
Biovision BVH & BVA Importer
WaveFront OBJ Importer/Exporter(updated)

How much are you willing to pay for a plug-in? Are there others who would use LR3D over Blender/Milkshape/GameSpace so that there is a need for an exporter?

I don't know if there was a "standard market price" to make a plugin, but as far as I know on import/export, LR3D is much better than Milkshape3D on Medal of Honor and Call of Duty.

Well, it comes down to personal responsibility (does someone who uses it want to make a plug-in) and commercial viability (can I make money with a plug-in?) unless someone has the program and a serious sense of dedication. If both come into collusion, then great things can happen. Otherwise, you will have to contract it and make a great workflow happen later. But you can't expect others to find your favorite application and make it happen for no apparent reason, no matter how cool it is for other development opportunities.

I see. It seems not an easy job to make a plugin. Recently I found LR3D can export models as MS3D format, currently it may some help.

Thank you.

I got a piece of news, the author of LR3D is making the .dts exportor for Torque these days, we can see another exporter for Torque soon!

Lightray3D sounds way too much like Lightwave3D.
