the dude Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I just downloaded Wings3d so I could try to model somethings in LRR but when I import the lwo files it says "LWO files in v5.5 format are not suported" So how do you do it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Wings3D is the program I like to use to model stuff. That doesn't mean it's the main program for modeling. Milkshape is the only program we've found that can import Lwo5.x files. You need that if you want to look at game models. You also need it if you want a model exported to game format. I use Wings because it's easy to make stuff, but then I have to use Milkshape to convert it. Several people have it here (one of them being me) and would probably be happy to export a model for you.

You also need it if you want a model exported to game format. I hope you didn't forget about Lightwave. You don't even need Milkshape if you know how to model in Lightwave. LW7 can't export LWO5 models correctly, but it still works if you want to make test models and not care about colors. LW8 and up can export LWO5 files perfectly, but LW9 has problems with LWS scenes while LW7 does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Asuming he doesn't have lightwave and/or doesn't have the means of obtaining it. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well we can assume that he doesn't have Milkshape nor a means of obtaining it. It still costs a few bucks, though not as much as Lightwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Regardless of what he doesn't have, he can still make a model in wings and have one of us convert it for LRR use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Milkshape is the only program we've found that can import Lwo5.x files. Anim8tor can too. It can't do anything useful with them, other than give me colors so I can hex-change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dude Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 All I want to do it remodel LRR building, monsters, ect.. So it sounds like i need to download Milkshape/Lightwave. But that costs money, and I, being only 13, can't realy do that... Are there any other programs that can Import/export v5 lwo files?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karsten Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Lightwave is more for the pro's and to understand a bit of lightwave it takes like a couple of weeks but ou can model in other programs and let me convert it to .obj for LRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to modify the models in the existing game So I would have to import it myself, make changes, and export it back to where it was before. But thanks for the offer...
