Forum description for new web visitors.

This is really just a casual easy going modeling tutorial forum for Caligari Truespace 3D modeling software. It features how to use TS to make 3D models with the software itself. You'll also find downloable files in the form of file attachments to some posts as well a some free 3D models uploaded by forum members. In addition to the main forum it has several sub forums for other Caligari modeling software like Caligari Gamespace 3D. We also have forums for Battlezone II Combat Commander, VRML modeling, and Unreal Tournament modeling plugins for Truespace. The original forum is about a year old now but is still actively maintained by my self as a general teaching aid to other people interested in 3D modleing in general. I welcome you all and encourage interested people to join the forum and share with others what you like about the art of creating things in three dimentional art forms.

The forum is under going constant changes to make it more fun and useful for forum members and web users who happen to stumble across us on the Internet. We also have a Live Chat feature for members wanting to yap with one another if their so inclined. Have fun and enjoy yourself folks. BNG123.

TSX based DirectX Export plugin that works with TS 6.

Truespace version 6.6 is a addon to the Truespace 7.6x modeling package. It serves as a bridge to older Caligari modeling tools including a wide array of popular import and export formats and numerous TSX based plugins that add a wide array of functions to broaden the overall modeling tools available in TS 6.6. Various free 3rd party TSX and RSX plugins are hosted on this forum for visitors and members to dowload in the form of attachments to many posts. They are provided free of charge for anyone interested in using Truespace 6.6 and 7.6x modeling software.

TSX based DirectX Export plugin that works with TS 6.

Postby BNG123 » Sat Apr 30, 2011 5:20 pm

I found this addon plugin online. It has 2 versions one for TS 4 and the other for TS 5. Both will install under TS 6 part of TS 7.6.

Note: TS plugins go in the TSX folder. To install them select the electrical plug icon in Truespace 6, locate the TrueX folder and in install the version 5 TSX as the version 4 TSX does not appear to work well for me; the geometry looks odd in 3D Exploration. I've tested and now use the Truex5.tsx for creating models for Battlezone II Combat Commander. The models are saved as X models and later converted to XSI with 3D Exploration 1.5.5.

Update: The TrueX X export plugin does not appear to be compatible with 3D Exploration. I my testing the version 4 screws up the geometry quite a bit.

The version 5 fairs a little better, but no texures appear on the model when converted to XSI and loaded into the BZII Map Editor. The weapons and other BZII read parts work fine as this X exporter does not rename parts like the stock TS X exporter does, i.e., hp_gun_1 gets renamed hp_gun_1-1; which screws up BZII's ability to read the part name correctly. The workaround for this is to add 2 space characters in the part name prior to exporting the model in the X format then when the model is converted to XSI with 3dex the resulting model works perfectly in the BZII Map Editor. PS: I'm always looking for new TS plugins and would appreciate some feedback if anyone comes across and sites that have TSX plugins for TS version 6, 7.6, or 7.61. Cheers, BNG.
