Asteroid Model Question

Post #1by Mr Noob » 14.04.2009, 18:45

Hi

I have recently been trying out a program called anim8or to create asteroids and the results are very good. However I have one problem...

I have obtained a script that Selden wrote which changes Anim8or files into CMOD ready for use in Celestia. I export the model to a CMOD and I find that 2 files are created. A "CMOD_MESH" and a "CMOD_MATERIALS" file.

What I would lik to know is, how do you concatenate the 2 files?

Thanks

Open them in wordpad and paste the CMOD_MATERIALS into the front of the CMOD_MESH. (Instructions are in fact contained within the files if you can read. 8) )

Save the result with a .CMOD extension.
