Question on importing ship models

[Ori'verda]

So, the Paradox Exporter only works for Maya 2016 and older and it doesn't seem like there is a free, downloadable version of Autodesk Maya 2016 out for grabs. The current version is 2017.

I've a really cool free-to-use ship model that was designed for the game Forces of Corruption.

My question is this; how do I convert and then insert the model (and assorted files) into Stellaris, if it is still possible at all given current circumstances?

Guys? Am I in the wrong section or...?

What extension the files have ? Download MAYA, click import and check if you can open it. If yes then there is tutorials how to import ships on forum.

 

[Ori'verda]

The files are ALOs and meshes.

Anyway, how would I import the ships if the Paradox plugin no longer functions for Maya 2017?

Here is link for mod tools to empire at war. I moded this game in the past xd https://forums.revora.net/topic/79242-modding-tools/
What models do you want to export?

 

[Ori'verda]

Where may I download Maya 2016? I'd love to.

A friend of mine named Geroenimo has a really cool model for his mod, Old Republic at War. It's a public modders resource.

I get this from teacher at my university
If he is your friend then ask him for models in different extension. You will have less work to do.

 

[Ori'verda]

Not sure if he's into modding anymore.

Isn't there another means? Is Maya 2016 literally the only way to bring different models into the game?

Talk about piracy is strictly forbidden on the forum guys and you are dangerously close, if not over the line, in such talk.

I am not saying all torrents are piracy, however you are talking as if you are trying to get maya through less then legal means.

Please edit out any mentions to trying to find a torrent of maya.

Thanks,
Dylan

True but there is no 2016 edition and until Paradox updates their plugin, I can't import the ships.

Has Paradox released a statement regarding potentially updating it?

 

[kamip123]

Well if you can't export it then send me fbx file and I will export it for you or you want to export more than 1 model ?

 

[Ori'verda]

That's kind of you to offer but I shall have to pass, I really wish to learn to do this on myself.

 

[kamip123]

There must be way to start trial for 2016 version and without maya you can't do much.

 

[Ori'verda]

Nothing that I know of, I even sent them a mail asking about it. They said there is no free 2016 version and I don't really want to pay 200 Euros to make a mod.
