Getting Unit models into other standard 3D formats.

Post by kb18951452 »

I'm wanting to make some of the TA units out of wood/plastic, or other materials. I need to get the unit files as DXF if possible, but OBJ, STL, is not.

I think i'd benifit most from knowing HOW to do this, then i can grab models and tinker around. I just made Barricade (The Police Car) for my 5 yr old, from wood, and my Wife suggested i turn it into a series. I figure if my children are to have any chance at success in life, they better be playing with Mahogany "Bulldogs", or atleast a Pinewood dirby car shaped like a Jeffy.

My modeling tool is Sketchup, but from what readin i have done, i recon this process would require something like wing3d to open the model, and possibly export/save them into another format.

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

Download the Upspring tool.
Download the game Balanced Annihilation (or another)
Open the BA archive with the program 7-zip
Use 7-zip to extract whole game archive to a folder
Open UpSpring and open .s3o/.3do files in the Objects3D subfolder
Save/Export as OBJ or 3DS.
