Hello gents. from what i understand there are people working on a converter for 3d objects in this game.

I have a little time off and i started scratching the surface of 3d modeling with 3ds Max. this is just like a two weeks fun trying to see what it takes to model complicated objects like the planes in this game. Of course there's little chance that i'll ever have enough time and skill to build a plane from scratch with all the things it needs to get in the game :lol: , but i just want to have a bit of fun with Max. :lol:

I'm looking with horror shaking my head for long time how bad are some parts of the model for the IAR-80/81. Specially the aft top fuselage. I don't blame the modeler for doing a bad job is just done aft bad drawings and not much double checked against pictures.

I have few examples of what I'm talking about:

in this picks you can see how different is the shape of that rear fuselage from the pictures and drawings.
Starting from the front frame if the cockpit the whole top rear section is too thick and makes the plane look really ugly:






from the side the model is a lot better, being wrong in just a few areas like the angle of the wings and too thin prop cone.





Since i don't have the skills and time to try building from the scratch i was thinking I'd like to try playing a bit with the original mesh. Who knows maybe i can fix enough of it to make it worth throwing it in the game.
I'd like to extract the mesh of the IAR in some 3ds max format so i can experiment with it.

Now i realize that the converter is stil in beta stage and is not released to the public. Also I'm aware that it may not even be released to other then a core of serious modelers.

If that's true, and i can't have access to the converter, is it possible somehow one of the modelers to convert the IAR-80/81 mesh in something 3ds max could use pls?


I forgot....Is that even possible? :o :lol:


Thx for your time.
