Short tutor on porting stuff with Tool

[ZarethPL]

As most of us already know bigger poly meshes and OBJ format dont go in pair ,since obj cant handle anything with big poly count.
As my tutor subject i choose the bousolle (one of the bigger poly ships )

as can see this is what happens when u port it to obj and import i to ur 3d program,here is where tool come usefull
(if ur 3d program can import vmrl files then just skip the below steps )

Thanks a lot! That's a good one to know

But I was wondering?! What a about the editing on the deck in that case, and do you convert all the stuff back + the additions, such as wheels, anchorwheels, figureheads ect...?

Anyway, thanks a lot already

That obj problem was one of the main reasons I wasn't modifying all locations on 100%...

Will try it out ASAP

When i've converted a file, for example the "bounty1.gm" to a obj file i open it with a rinoceros but i have only the model, not the textures...
