I am trying to convert a model for use in CSL without much luck.
I have pretty much zero 3D-modelling knowledge but though I could perhaps wing it because all the difficult stuff (making the model + texturing etc) was already done, all that was required was some tinkering with the format, which I thought maybe I could pick up from the various tutorial videos available.
This was perhaps naive!
The model itself is freely available courtesy of NASA and is to be found here:
http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/jpl-vtad-dsn70
I'm getting the general impression that the whole model is over-complex compared to those that go into CSL.
I know the scale is all wrong but I thought I'd fixed that, also the way it handles it texture seems very different to what I have seen in CSL / Blender tutorial videos I have been looking at.
If someone more knowledgeable could have a quick look and prehaps point me in the right direction, or tell me if it can even be converted at all it would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
