Hi,

Easy.
There are many way to convert from mesh to another format.
Try ar81's meshwizard; it can convert to anim8or format and .obj format.

There is my problem.
The mesh I want to convert in mesh wizard cannot be opend.
It crashs with an runtime error when I want to open it.

Ah.

I've had that problem before. What mesh are you trying to export?

I'm trying to open the USSVoyager mesh from the trekpack on orbithangar.

Ah.

Are you planning to release this mesh?
If so, perhaps you should ask the developer of the mesh first.

I want to add a gear an mayby animations to the warp engines.
First I want to make this for my private use and when it lookes good I mayby release it. But if so I would ask the author for the premission.
But with mesh wizard I cannt open it as I said before.

Ah.
Did you try the link posted by liber? What modelling program are you using?

Currently I'm not using any specific program.It depends on to which format I can convert my mesh.
I tried the link posted by liber. When the program says it has finished converting I look in my folder and there is no obj file.

Oh my mistake. I'm using vista and I must launch the converter as atministrator. Now I have my obj file. Which 3d programm must I use to open .obj files.

Try with Anim8or.

Now I'm gonna modelling.

I have another question.
I know that a mesh in splitted in groups.
When I converted my mesh to obj I said the groups also must be converted. But in anim8or I see only one big object.
How can I see the names of the different groups?

 

[liber]

Hm...I have 3D Exploration with who covert obj to 3DS and all group stay.
Maybe is easyer to download a new Voyager and make it for Orbiter...if you planing to use ut for private use ok but for public I think you need to get permission.
