Title: New program that can be used to make components?
Post by: Gazea2 on July 30, 2010, 04:07:40 AM: I'm not sure whether this should be posted here or in the software and programs board.

I found this cool new 3d modelling program and, although it isn't 3d studio max, they can be saved in that format. I was wondering whether the more experienced modders could use it to make new components. The best thing is... It's free!

Can I export Solid Works models into RA2?

If you build some software to do it.

Post by: Serge on July 31, 2010, 12:45:48 AM: It's hard to use anything else than 3dsmax, since:
1) a lot of the nongeometric objects are based on Havok Exporter/Reactor, which is 3dsmax-only (rbcollection, simobject, csolver, etc).
2) the gmf file format uses both vertex and face normals, which is quite uncommon.
3) the gmf file format uses per-face mapping instead of the usual per-vertex mapping.

kthx
