  Hi guys sorry I keep asking questions but is it worth it to use blender for
BZ2

[Warfreak]

, you're kidding right?

Lets see:
- Its free
- OM's Exporter exports perfectly from what has been tested
- Its not TOO hard to get the hang of.
- It does everything you would need it to
- ITS FREE.

Unless you have $2000+ dollars for a copy of Autodesk 3dsMax#, YES

[RABBITPOLICE]

Thank you very much

But one last thing

is there anyway to import eye point or weapon hard points
or do I need threed for that (wich I have)

[Warfreak]

:facepalm:

HelperPoints (HP) are JUST NORMAL OBJECTS named accordingly.

IOW: You can make them in Blender just fine, just make a box and rename is accordingly.

to add to his questions there are supposedly "free" 3d modeling downloads at the Autodesk website. Are they really free and are they worth it?

[RABBITPOLICE]

um how do i make eye points because the first time I messed with them on
threed I screwed up

Autodesk has made a version of Maya free to download and use, called the Personal Learning Edition.  I personally don't like Maya, and there's no easy way to get any models you make in it to XSI.

Never use ThreeD/BZ2ME to make changes. Just use it as a viewer. Models safed in ThreeD tend to be fubar'ed.

[RABBITPOLICE]

dont worry I know how to fix em up I made a mech out of the constructor using it
you have mess with notepad

[AHadley]

Yep.

Sometimes ThreeD screws them up irreprably. I added some rotations and HPs to a Hadean Megagun to make it useable once. When I reloaded it, all I had was two tris. A flat square, basically.

HardPoints...

[RABBITPOLICE]

hey um can I make textures with blender or do I need somthing else

[mrtwosheds]

Threed will truncate any model that has a texture defined on its first frame, like most of the stock models do...

[Warfreak]

Hardpoints and Helperpoints do the same job .

[RABBITPOLICE]

Thanks
