Converting A Model

Post #1by Pluto » 14.11.2020, 20:33

I am struggling with a 3d model of Pluto which on Cmodview and Celestia it is purely white with no ambient light even when I set it to 0.00, can someone convert it without this bug/glitch

I haven't been working with obj files in Cmodview but rather an external editor instead. Here is a quick convertion to cmod with the help of an anim8or plugin. I also took the liberty rotating it correctly (to the best of my knowledge). As a cmod file it shows up correctly in cmodview.

Thank you so much! I have really been wanting to make a orbiter screenshot and I thought that a 3d model of Pluto would be the best way to add detail.
