Looking for a Milkshape VRML Importer for Homeworld models
« on: November 08, 2006, 01:40:02 pm »
Does anyone havea VRML importer or work-around to get *.wrl files into milkshape?

I would like to be able to take advantage of the Homeworld 2 files at this site:

I'd check with Darkdrone. IIRC he had some success with this issue.

Qapla!

I think that the importer MP posted is for Homeworld 1 models.  Homeworld 2 used a completely different file system.

My suggestion would be to look at freeware 3D applications for one that can import .vrml and export to a type that milkshape can import, such as .3DS or .OBJ.
Then use that program to converter the files.

Milkshape's inability to import .vrml files is one of it's biggest flaws, IMHO.

It said homeworld, didn't specify which version. Sorry if it's not the right one.
