Do older versions of trueSpace work?

by Kevin Summers · in Artist Corner · 02/07/2007 (4:41 pm) · 4 replies

I've got an OLD trueSpace2 that I've used for years for making 3D
pictures for web sites.

Would the DTS Exporter work with a version of trueSpace that old?

Nope. trueSpace 4 and up have the kind of SDK's that allowed for accessing the objects, not to mention the bone and material information. I'm not sure that the DTS exporter works with 4 either, but if it works with older versions, that's the earliest version it could work with. Version 3 is a near-miss, I believe, since it was the first with an SDK...

I test dark industries dts 2 exporter with Truespace 3.2 and it did not work.

Bummer, I guess I'll just have to use it for static models and AVI cut-scenes.

Ever messed around with Animation Master? I've got the 2005 version of that
and it's pretty awesome at 3D. www.hash.com.

Thanks.

@Kevin: You won't be able to get static models into the game from those versions either, as it still has to come in as a DTS object.
