Sticks and Twigs Pack Conversion Question

by John Getty · in Torque X 3D · 02/10/2010 (3:05 pm) · 3 replies

Is there anyway I can convert the Sticks and Twigs pack to work with an editor other than Torque? I'm currently using 3D World Studio, but conversion to Sunburn, Freeworld 3D, or any other object editing program would be ok too. I didn't know this pack was only usable in Torque when I bought it so I'm kind of bummed about that. Thanks for your help!

It looks like the pack also has ms3d (MilkShape) fbx (autodesk) and obj formats as well as DTS. You need to be able to import those into whatever you are using. 3D world studio will not import any of those formats, maybe you can find a plugin?

Unwrap 3d pro converts pretty much anything to anything..
I have purchased sticks n twigs, wharehouse, downtown and alley props..
I am converting all to TX3D...

My pipeline...convert all as .obj..
import into poser.., use "collect scene inventory..)
this separates the images and file to a separate dir..(important..there are thousands of images).

now I have all plants, buildings, etc as poser props..
then I can, push to Daz 3D..(why??)..both Collada and .fbx export..and...layout in daz is the absolutely the fastest in real time render with a large amount of assets..as well as exporting total materials files..norm, spec, etc..

all will no go into maya. With the Maya DTS Converter, I can set the world units..and to the final scene layaout..convert to .fbx (ascii)

so, now I have each asset as..DTS / .FBX / .DAE
The total conversion time, for me..abuot an hour per 100 objects..

This then ties into my custom conversion system.
TX Game Builder (still working on it...)

Now I can get file name, materials, textures, local and world position:
this get's uploaded to my app, it then generates to scene level code..

I also am finishing up with my TX Game Builder Web App..
I'll post a new video today.

TX Gamebuilder:
Torque script code generation system
.fbx ascii to .txscene files..
