Using the existing 3D model mdl or any others which are not GNU can be only for a first contact with that model. Somme of them are wonderful, very detailed, their Author are certainly very well documented. We could get profit of it during redrawing the model. -- Gerard ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Clifford, It can be done, however it is a rather long winded process. You need to get a program called pretty polly editor (PPE). Open the *.mdl file in PPE and save it as a *.dxf file. Close the program. Re-open it load the *.dxf file and save it as a *.ac file. Then you need to use a program called blender. You have to go to the file-import-AC3D (.ac). Then you can import the file. The only information contained in this file is the point locations and which polygons use which points. All data connecting polygons and their texture maps is lost. What then you need to do is manually seperate all of the parts and texture them. If you have any trouble feel free to email me.

Perhaps I should have said that this is my way of converting *.mdl files. I'm sure there are many ways of doing this, and who is to say which one is wrong. Anyway I am sory if I caused any offence.

Cheers, Mostyn Not any offence, I only wonder, In that first draft: about PPE, i said-- it is an old program which use an old PLIB version. I do not recommend it. It is now limited and as far as i know texture is lost. I do not know, What, exactly, Clifford wants to do, The approach is open. Because of that i have tried to start from a high level of explanation. You know that *.mdl means nothing or rather many things so..how to explain ? -- Gerard ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Can you elaborate? I can, just need a delay: next week. Just for the record: I've never tried to prevent anyone from posting any contents, and I wouldn't if I were in the position, which I am not. I only remind people once in a while to follow some very basic netiquette rules, when threads and quote levels grow and grow and grow, when people quote 200 lines just to add a me too on top, when basic formal requirements aren't met that mail user agents depend on (e.g. the standard quote character for syntax coloring of quotes, etc.). I can't force anyone, anyway. I just fix a few messages via procmail rule, and throw some (very few) away. People who don't like to follow rules or to read my quarterly reminders are free to block my messages in turn.
