Easiest way to convert .3DS into .DTS?

by John Klimek · in Torque Game Engine · 05/03/2006 (8:01 pm) · 1 replies

I'm trying to convert .3DS files into .DTS files using Blender and I'm some problems... (I've posted my problem in more detail over in the DTS Exporter: Blender forum)

However, I'm wondering if there is an easier way to convert .3DS into .DTS files. Does some sort of standalone utility exist for this? I'm downloading tons of free models and having to manually convert each model to .DTS is a huge pain...

Well, one thing you might find with free models is that since they were never meant to be exported to a particular file format, you may have to do some modification to the model itself. Which is why using a 3D application is handy. Especially with the scaling issues that you noticed. While a batch compiler might be nice if you made all of your own models and you know you modeled them correctly, it would be a pain for downloaded ones made by different people for a wide variety of purposes often not related to game development (say, a high-poly model for procedural rendering into a movie file rather than real-time rendering).
