Truespace 3D Modeling Tutorials

Truespace models that use the hierarchal tree structure, i.e., models with parts under other parts as seen in a typical multi-part model need to be welded together as one single model piece with a special TSX based tool called, Mesh Collapse prior to exporting a TS model in the ASE format. The tool when applied to such a model will weld multiple model parts into a single mesh model that can be exported from TS with another TSX based ASE mesh exporter. I'm attaching the 2 TSX files for people who use Truespace. After downloading the files you would need to extract the files to your TS TSX folder, and load both TSX's as 2 new plugin icon in the TS modelside workspace. The way it works is simple. You make or load a model with an Hiearchial tree and select it. Then you select the Mesh Collapse icon to collapse the model into a single mesh object. Then your ready to export the model using the ASE exporter plugin to save the mesh to where ever folder you save your ASE project models.
