Having had a boost of confidence from my first addon, I decided go ahead and begin working on my next addon. However, I seem be to be unable to get either a .cmod version or .3ds version of my model file from using more than a single texture file. Is there a way to solve this issue? I've heard that .cmod can support more than one texture file, but I haven't been able to get more than one to load currently.
The model I'm working with is the 1st gen SpaceX Cargo Dragon, that I spoke about in this post:

That's a shame, please buy a PC. Editing a cmod file manually can be very hard and in many cases the 3ds to cmod converter utility is not working properly in my opinion.

I wasn't able to convert the ISS model without Anim8tor's cmod converter. What about buying Parallels Desktop 16 for Mac?

Depends on what version of macOS he has since 10.15 and 11.x wine does not support.

Please use this tutorial:
https://www.classe.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/modelling.html#4.1
After that you just have to import and export the mesh. You don't have to use Anim8tor in any other capacity.

You can install Ubuntu on a USB stick and run Wine from Ubuntu.

The problem is not so much getting Anim8tor to run, but rather that the entire time it is running, I cannot click on any of the controls within the Anim8tor window.
I'm going to hold off on making any further add ons for Celestia. I'll continue to share on the forum links to any 3d models I find, though at least for the time being, I think its best if I leave it at my Dream Chaser add on. Thank you all for the help, and hopefully I'll be able to renter the Celestia add on scene at some point in the future.
