Question: Converting Files (3D Modelers)

Fyron · #1 April 18th, 2005, 03:51 AM

I believe all of the hassle is in getting a model to work in BOTF. It should hopefully be a fairly simple process to convert the models back to a more normal format.

Once converted to X format, should be able to work, hopefully, as a ship in a mod for Star Fury or other simular game..

Having access to these models will go a long way toward a Star Trek Mod for SE V.

So you want to use BOTF models for SEV ST mod...what about artist permission and all that crap...or are you just going to give direct copyright to paramount and such...Not that I care about these things...but...if you want models for a ST mod for SEV...I would think it would be easier to use .MOD files from Star Fleet Command (SFC 1 and 2)...I know their are converters from .MOD to 3dmax I believe, and 3dmax will do .x right? I guess the only problem would be poly's at that point on the textures...

Yup, there is a good .X convertor for 3DM. I have one installed on my copy. Need it?

The game belongs to Atari now I think and for the most part it has been picked to death already.. (Look in the Image Mod) And orginally all of the STAR TREK ships were ones that I got from BOTF and set up for use with SEIV. That was way back in 2000, and early 2001.

I can convert a model for you to have less polies, but it will look a bit more choppier.
I can tell you which program I use for it, but if you're interested in it please send me a PM or mail me (see my personalia).

Anyone ever get any of the images from Star Trek: New Worlds as well...the vehicles and pics of installations might be useful?!?

Yes, they were used as troops in some sets. I never used them. Another used ships from Armada and Armada 2. Many of the later sets I created used models from SFC series, Klingon Acadamy, and BOTF.
