Galaxies Mesh Suite for Blender
- Thread starter Sunrunner_Charina
- Start date
There is no complete way to get new skeletal mesh properly into the game with blend modes and the like at the moment. Especially not with this (Galaxies Mesh Suite).
I ran into similar issues when I was modding for Farming Simulator 2013-15. I do 100% of my modeling with Lightwave3D. I really don't do much on the rendering side anymore, but when I do, I use blender to do all my texturing, UV mapping, and baking. I have used Lighwave3D for that in the past, but I don't have much use for it since I'm not rendering out 30-60 second animated clips anymore.
Anyway, FarmSim has it's own proprietary object system for it's game engine, and while they ENCOURAGE modding, to the point of releasing tools to help, I still don't understand all the nuts and bolts of the mesh/vertex/bones/etc... stuff... I just learned how to import and export their objects using blender. from there I can get to a format that lightwave3d recognizes. from there I can create anything I want, and push it back into the game.
None of my 3d Modeling including doing morph targets, bones, or any other types of object maluablility... just a strait up model, probably really close to adding and subtracting msh files from SWG. and I believe I can do that easy enough even though I've not tried it yet.
(edit: forgot to make my point)
even though I knew how to use the tools to do awesome stuff, I didn't know how they worked. I can code pretty well, but that doesn't help if I don't know exactly what each piece of the object file do, and why.

I updated my hard drive and now I can't import .msh files. I installed Blender 2.73, 2.6, 2.58 and 2.54 and followed the instructions as before and only .mgn comes up as a file type in the importer. Anyone willing to point me in the right direction here? Been wanting to get back into modding for awhile now.

I am having a bit of an issue, I can't seem to import the trandoshan head models into blender, I have no problems importing other parts of their bodies, am I missing some files, I exported the shader and texture files, the mgn for the head won't load in Blender though

Is it just me or is the download broken? "if i missed somewhere in the thread where the link was changed there is a lot to read here so don't blame" Would be great to get this addon working. I export SWG models for 3d printing/improving but can't do the wearable ones because there all .mgn is there another program that also can do this if this one doesn't work? please help.

I have it somewhere, I'll get the link fixed soon.
This doesn't work for mgn and skt files.
The question was for NON skeletal models ...
For skeletal models you can use that:
