This debate is now heading in the right direction as far as getting opinions of the use of this new tool by everyone.That was the purpose of me posting here and getting everyones insight, especially the model authors themselves.They carry more weight as they are the driving force for everyone else.
This tool isnt anything new that can't be done now as several of you have pointed out.Conversion of 99% of models is possible with 3ds Max and other programs.This tool should be more accurate of the original authors model as far as his or her original vision is concerned of what the model should look like. And alot easier.
Permssion for doing any conversions for release to the public should always be asked first.
This convertor will only make conversion faster and easier and less expensive. What is unbelievable to me is that a convertor such as this hasn't been done before now.Though I'm sure there have been attempts.
I have already worked with several really good model authors in this community in converting many models to Armada 2 by hand and through my great friends in the Armada community and I hope this continues to be the case.
