Need converters for Milkshape and

by Andy Hawkins · in Torque Game Engine · 01/19/2006 (3:01 am) · 2 replies

Are there such things as the following?

lw2b3d (Lightwave to BlitzBasic converter)

and

lw2ms3d (Lightwave to Milkshape)

I want to convert some objects, but I would rather avoid buying the engines if possible - I just want to get the converters (and viewers if possible). Any advice would be appreciated.

and download ... www.terabit.nildram.co.uk/lwconvert.zip
lw2ms3d ... www.geocities.com/c3p1models/msLWOPlugins.zip

I hope this helps other people too :)

For a b3d viewer the 3dsmax b3d export plugin has an integrated viewer that can also be run stand alone.

One of the best tools other than the LW to b3d exporter, is ultimate unwrap 3d which converts to most game formats including both that you mentioned and DTS too.

I'm actually coming the other way and loading B3D files into torque and moving a project from blitz to TGE.
