Does Bender have an exporter for the Star Trek games (SFC, BC, or Armada)?

no but it exports into formats that can be readily converted it is also open source so if is possible for some one to write a script to do so. Unfortunatly i havent a clue on how to do so.

I'm learning how to use blender, but the interface is so completely different from what I'm used to with max, I'm still having trouble finding and remembering my way around.  I'm trying to make a solid move to Linux as my main OS.  Once I get as comfortable with blender as I am with max, the only thing I'll need Windows for is games.

IIRC cedega is a good thing on linux for games. also most iD games like quake 4 and doom 3 have downloadable linux installers, all you need is the origonal cds/dvds ;D
