Content Import About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Content Import // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by SeaJasonQ // Apr 2, 2009, 9:33pm SeaJasonQ Total Posts: 3 I really like what I've seen of trueSpace's interface. I'm almost completely new to modeling, and I want to minimize my learning curve by using purchased content. I know about the whole turbosquid thing. Their models tend to be on the spendy side, however. I have a lot of Poser/DAZ Studio models I'd like to use, though. And I now have the ability to export models in Collada format. Any word on whether/when trueSpace will start IMporting Collada? (And you might want to update the Specifications page. It says nothing about .DAEs under the EXport area, either.) Post by Jack Edwards // Apr 2, 2009, 10:03pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Collada export from trueSpace is fairly robust and supports keyframed and skeletal animation. There is no Collada import at the moment. I am working on an FBX plugin which will also support 3DS, Collada, DXF, and OBJ import/export, but it will likely be some months before I'll have time to continue working on it. Model (legacy) side of trueSpace does have OBJ and 3DS import which are reasonably reliable. Also the model-side LUUV plugin is included and does a better job handling difficult OBJ imports than the built in OBJ importer. Frootee is working on a OBJ importer plugin that will be native to Workspace side and will be more robust, including material support. He's making good progress and may have it ready for purchase in the near future. Hope that helps! Post by SeaJasonQ // Apr 3, 2009, 9:39am SeaJasonQ Total Posts: 3 Thanks for reply. I'll look forward to the new releases, when available. Meanwhile, the info on .OBJ imports should help. Post by frootee // Apr 4, 2009, 1:52pm frootee Total Posts: 2667 Thanks Jack. The OBJ Importer is progressing. I think I know what I need now for materials. I'll get that working, then the last thing I think, is grouping.
