Milkshap 3D program
Could someone please tell me where I can find the 3D program called "Milkshape"? I heard it was very inexpensive and enough to make 3D models for Space Empires. I can't seem to find it. I had the address before, but can't remember it now.
Any other suggestions for 3D programs would be appreciated too.
Thanks!

Re: Milkshap 3D program
Whilst on the subject of apps to do SE ship models - anyone know anything about some ST game ships saved with the extension 'mod'.
Hence: shipname.mod
TIA

Re: Milkshap 3D program
I think maybe the ships in Homeworld might have .mod endings...although I'm just guessing.

Re: Milkshap 3D program
Be that as it may - what editor is capable of working with those files?

Re: Milkshap 3D program
There is a program by the name SCME (can't remember what it stands for) that can be used to open the xxxx.mod files used by star fleet battles. I think the easiest way to find it would be to search the SFB forums. SCME extracts the file into either a 3ds or dxf format (can't remember for sure) so that you can work with it in a 3d graphics program. I thought you still needed to convert the file into another format before you can open it with milkshape, as an alternative you can also convert those files to either POV-ray, or Moray which are also cheep 3d programs.
I just checked and I still have SCMEv0.7 on my computer here at work; if you can't find it let me know and I can email it to you.
