Can Blender be used in RF?

Post by BigFish »

Hi, I'm BigFish, and I really like Blender. Although some other people don't like the UI at all, I love it and find it speedy and logical. I was wondering if it is possible to use Blender in RF, because I've heard that Milkshape crashes a lot, and I despise Gmax. If so, please provide links to the files necessary to convert blender files to a RF friendly format.

Thanks,
BigFish

milkshape doesnt crash alot. it does cost money tho. but you export from 3ds import to milkshape and export from there. OR you can use truegene which is an exporter for truspace so you can import into truespace

The point is, I want to use Blender to make actors for RF! I already know that you can use Milkshape, TrueSpace, Gmax, and 3ds Max to make RF models. That's why I posted this thread. Are there any Python scripts for Blender that can export to an RF friendly format? Or, are there any ways of getting Blender models into RF without getting another 3d program?

well to .bdy as well as .mot would be better, this would remove the depenancy to milkshape, and leave us with the ability to have completely free game making
that would be awsome if you couldswing this Zany.

Somebody with Python experience can write a Blender export plugin for the NFO file format. ;)

Well, I'm not sure there are any converters for Blender but MS3d definitely has them...and GMax isn't really working for me.

Blender exports its .blend files into about 20 file formats from the get go, and Im sure there is one that is compatible with RF.
Think outside the box.
