TGE Elf with Blender?

by Joe O · in Artist Corner · 02/04/2007 (8:57 am) · 5 replies

I haven't found a better place for this so... if it doesn't go here my apologies.

I am trying to look at the tge elf sorceress model so I can figure out how I want to model and animate (I've done very little in the way of 3d animation) but I can't get the thing to import into blender for the life of me. I'm going to try blender on linux as well but seeing as the python import scripts are the same I doubt it will help.

So my questions are:

1) has anyone been able to import the elf sorceress from TGE 1.5 into blender?

2) is there a max plugin for blender? can GG supply the elf in a different, more universal, format if possible?

Thanks!

I will answer question 2. We don't have the time or the expertise in blender to convert the max model into a blender compatible model (as in, an actual blender model that is animated).

I could export the mesh into a .3ds or some other format if someone could define the format to export to. Note that the model was made with a Biped skeleton, so it won't export well, and the animation information will most likley be garbage if it was exported.

Perhaps Joseph can write a DSQ import script for Blender which should solve the problem.
